Who here actually enjoys doing water changes?

[ImNemo]

I do 25 gallon water changes every other week and I'm just sitting here looking at my tank thinking I really want to do another water change even though it's not till next weekend, ha. I've gotten it down to where I can do a 25 gallon water change in under 15 minutes. So anyone else here like doing water changes?

 

[Bigwrasse]

I hate doing it but I feel accomplished when it’s done and I like a clean and healthy tank so it helps keep it that way

I like it. I wouldn't say it's to a point that I look forward to it like you. I have a mixing station next to my sump in the garage. Doing a water change is very quick and easy. Before I had this and I was lugging buckets into the house then that was a different story.

Some weekends I dread it. Others I really look forward to it. All depends how much free time I get that weekend.

I put mine in the corner next to the tank. Going to build a box to cover it up someday.

I just finished a water change. I do smaller more frequent changes myself. 5 gallons every weekend on my 40 gallon system.

Mine is 200 total so it equals 25% water change a month. So far everything has stayed happy with that.

I've kind of made a game out of seeing how fast I can change it out. I know I could just automate it and just add salt and water but I actually like doing it, ha.

I was thinking about this same thing last weekend, wondering if others enjoyed water changes Always so much talk of auto water change systems or no water changes.
I change 40-50 gallons weekly and actually enjoy it. Maybe I'm just strange.

Depends. My saltwater tanks are quick and easy. My fw are not streamlined and I dread them. I literally just cleaned this tank 2 days ago and yes that puffer poo

 

[toxicshark]

I like doing water changes because it makes me feel more involved with the tank.

 

[flchamp89]

I don't mind. Benefits of a nano. Lol

I do 3-3.5 gallons every day for my 90 gallon system. I won't say that I enjoy it, but the corals sure do.

I enjoyed it because it was automatic on my system.

I like it. It gets me to the beach where I can relax and collect water.

You just like thinking about all those chemical reactions going on in that water.
