Baby alligator gar now growing

I wish I could do an auto drip system but since I'm an actual hobbyists I just dont see the point. If I had a fish room it makes sense, but imo most folks just need to stop being lazy and change the water lol. Even on this site only a handful of you seem to have ponds worth of fish where auto drips are feasible... I may be wrong but I enjoy doing maintenance because it alerts me to any change in my tanks

Even a single good-sized tank makes a "drip" system (or at least a plumbed system for draining/refilling, like mine) very worthwhile, IMHO. The larger the tank...and/or the more of them...and/or the older the aquarist ...the more worthwhile it becomes.

In my case, for example...I am down to a single 20-ish gallon tank that still demands the use of buckets and it's barely tolerable. Gotta link it up to the rest of "the system" before my next birthday...

Lmao. Well I stand corrected, but still I think I would lose something if I wasnt doing everything myself. For the moment I'm still under the hill so....

Lol, I just saw this response. "Under the hill"? I think that carrying those dang 5-gallon pails will be putting me "under the hill" sooner rather than later...and I prefer to spend some more time above-ground if possible.
