OK, is it just me?

I hate doing water changes.....are there any other like minded reefers out there?? UGGHH!!!

 

Depends on a weekend. Sometimes water changes can be a nice break from real life.

 

they suck till you get a good system down, I hated them till I got a pump to pump the water in while it got removed. When I replumb my system gonna put a water hose attachment to the sump line so i can just run it outside, and have a pump in my WC container to pump it back in, should cost $50 and make WC's painless.

 

when you do that i want pic's, so i can try doing somthing like that. i hate water changes i always manage to spill some and i always hear the same thing from my wife. why not go back to fresh water it was easier. lol

 

Its gonna be super easy, just go to lowes and get a T and add a garden hose adaptor to it. prob $10. I just don't mind the system I'm doing now or I'd have it done. then all you need is a $20 maxi jet or hydor nano pump and some flex tubing to get the water back in. Just gonna add the T somewhere along the line. don't think it'll matter where really.

 

What I hate is procrastinating about doing a water change.

It always makes feel better to do a tank cleaning and then a water change.

There is an up side to Nanos.

 

you know what they say about procrastination i am not going to say it do to young ens on here. but im sure you get the drift lol

 

My mixing barrel is right beside my sump. I also have a drain right beside my sump (my wife had it put in one day while i was at work). I just pump water out of tank and into the drain. Drop my pump and hose into mixing barrel and pump back into the sump. Takes me about 5 minutes to do a 20-30 gallon change

 

Takes me less than an hour to do 10% water changes on 4 tanks thanks to a Maxi-Jet pump. Siphon out water from tank one, empty, go to the basement and fill bucket with SW using Maxi-Jet. Pump into tank, cleaning off rocks in the process. Repeat for 3 tanks. As long as I have a spare hour on the weekends, I don't mind at all.

 

Right there with you... I don't mind actually doing it, but convincing myself to do so it another matter:
