Can you do this?

I have the biggest none-python gravel vac, needless to say it DUMPS water into the bucket. Everytime I take my eyes of the how in the bucket it flies out to the floor. I almost did the same thing as Alyssa, except i fell up the basement steps dumping nice pee/poo/fish sex water all over me.......................... LOVE this hobby

hahaha at least mine was clean water!

I only siphon out about 5 gallons a week and still get water everywhere.

Soo.. after i said that....

I just did my monthly 50% WC.. pull all deco out.. scrub bottom of tank (bare-bottom) rip apart filters and make sure impellers where spiffy clean.. leaving my bio-mats ect alone of course =D..

Both my needle nose fish, and Oscar jumped outta the tank O.O... never happened before!

I dumped about 2gallons of fish poop water on the floor when the siphon slipped out of the bucket..

So to reitterate.. /knocks on wood. I hate water changes the neccisary evil.

monthly?

monthly?

If you've read my other posts.. I do 25% WC 2x a week on the tank and 1x a month or so I more or less rip everything apart. very high bio-load tank.
