How long does it take you to do a water change?

[Gr8KarmaSF]

Considering that almost all of us own multiple large tanks, how long does it take you to do a water change?

When I try to do them all in one day (usually I can not) It takes 4 hours some times depending on the pressure from the hose. Sometimes I trickle the water in to the tank while running an I.V. so to speak out of the tank. I have many situational techniques. When just doing 20% daily changes maybe an hour or 2....

Daily 10% as my water is low in chlorine/chloramines.Called my MunicipalityPython in to drain,Python from sink to fill.Imagine having to plumb and worry about a drip?!?!?!HA!! I do it daily so as to simulate rain Hey,in the wild they get freshwater everyday right?I do have some WildCaughts so...............

Depends.

Normally, On sundays I will do a w/c on my 240,360, and my rack system which takes maybe like 1 hour if that. than i will do all my other ones when i notice the water getting low.

But after x-mas will have a drip system on all my tanks

all depends on what tank size, and percentage of water taken, anywhere ussally from 30-90 mins

Usually takes me around an hour and a half.....

It depends. I used to do all my tanks in 1 day and it took about 4-5hrs. Now I do them 2 or 3 at a time and that may take about 2hrs or so depending on how much water i take out again normally 30%-50%.

I've got an auto changer on my 450g. It would take me a few hours for all of my other tanks.
