Easy Water Change Ideas

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
We don't have a pH issue like you do, but we do have a painless water change system involving a 55 gallon holding tank. We open and close valves to do water changes. I recently wrote about our water change system on another thread:


Frankly, I can't imagine doing water changes on a 750 gallon tank using 5 gallon buckets :( :( or even a python
 
I occasionally contemplate something like this...


Not sure how how practical it is in real life...
I had stuff like that on my reef especially when I started using a calcium reactor. Mostly just to monitor it , but had some alk buffer ready on a dosing pump if it got to low. I dripped the calcium reactor out put through crushed coral to help take up any of the acidity left over from the co2. No issues. You could totally do that but honestly crushed coral will solve 99% of those pH issues.
