Ps: I cant go any further down because my heater is at full stretch and i cant reach the plug socket easily to turn everything off.
 
I think you sould be fine. Make sure you keep you substrate and filters clean. Can you plug a power strip in the wall and then plug your componants into that? This way you just turn off the pwr strip and you're good to go.
 
sure ... if you think it's not enough do an EXTRA w/c :)

I agree with this. But think of doing just water changes like this... Say your trash in your house stinks and you just open up the windows to let the house "air out." After a couple hours of you closing your windows the smell comes back... Gotta remove the source too. I'm not saying that's what you do... I just wanted to throw that out there for other noobs.
 
I'm not a noob, just never kept a solo flowerhorn before so don't know the exact amount to change because most places on the internet point towards 10% which blatantly is not enough.

Lol I know your not a noob and I wasn't calling you one. I was just throwing a little more info out there for those wanting to learn more about this subject...
 
Water changes should be relevent to water parameters, not by eyeballing an amount...
