Water Changes - How Do You Do Yours?

[JoshuaA]

i have a hose which goes directly from my sump to the garden through a hole i drilled in the wall. this is consatntly syphoning about 1 litre every 3 minutes.

i have a hma filter ( a hma looks a bit like an ro filter, it has 3 pods which remove metals chlorines etc)near the outside tap which is connected via airline hose to a floatvalve in my sump. this hose runs through walls etc.

so i just sit back and enjoy the tank whilst knowing i am changing about 3300 litres a week. i have a 1500litre tank which is still cycling with fish in.

once the cycle is done i will reduce flow to around 500 litres a week

I hope you're not flooding you're garden! Giant sinkhole under your house

i have a 250L tank. what i do is put a poly-box on my skateboard, fill it up with fish tank water then wheel it into the bathroom, poor it out then full up about 5 buckets of tap water and pour it back in the tnk every week.

Rolling the water in on a skateboard, now that's a new one.
