How do you guys do it?

Ok for the last 8 years I've done water changes with a 30gal bucket and a 20 ft gravel siphon. I empty the tank with ease as the siphon runs out my back door, filling the tank back up is my problem, I can carry about 20 gal in the 30g bucket. so I fill the bucket condition the water and make like 4 trips to fill the tank back up its becoming very tiring as the years go on. My question is, is there a easier way todo this is there some secret to it that I just haven't figured out yet?

Move to Norway, where the tap water is pristine.

I add it directly to the tank, no need to treat the water.
Been doing it for years, same goes at my work.
Straight from tap with hose.

Get a vacuum that hooks to your sink. Siphon dirty tank water into the drain flip the switch and clean tap water goes back into your tank. Add prime directly to the tank.

Pump water to your tank or just use a hose off the faucet

I use a python. I check the temp and fill from the tap. I use Seachem's Safe as my water conditioner and done in no time.

You guys dont think direct tap water to the tank could kill the fish?

Nope. I've been doing it for years. Just don't forget to add conditioner.

Just treat the entire tank with Prime or Safe and its fine.
