how long does your weekly water change take?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Now that I have a new water-change set-up pumps and all! Its super easy! 15 min to clean and do a 50% WC on my 75 gal :D

No more buckets back and forth from the bathtub... Good times.... lol
 
Takes me about a hour to hover and change 50% of the 150 litre my Cichlids and Catfish are homed in.
I do this every two to three days.
Really need to buy one of the kits, the bucket trips drive me mad!

My Fighter fish tank takes 5 mins lol
 
the 125g 75g in the kitchen and the 30 and 10 in the kids bedrooms take about 2 hours all together.the 1500g of assorted 15-125g tanks in the fishroom take a good 6 hours usually.Some of that just cause I'm slowing down the refill as to not run my well dry.
 
when doing eater changes in my 125g take maybe 30mins, but doing a full water change it takes like maybe an hour or so
 
I have a 200g, 150g, and 100g. I use a python to gravel vacuum and some garden hose w/adapter attached to my fx5 output to drain the tanks. I hook up the hoses to my 150 and 200g tanks to get the fx5 to drain water out, then I gravel vac the 210 first, then the 150g. Its really fast. The fx5 can drain fill a 5g bucket in a little over a minute. Total time is a little over 2 hrs to drain and refill 3 tanks. I really recommend people to use their FX5s to drain their tank. Its very fast.
 
1 hr for a 50 gal wc on my 110 gal. I still do it old style with a 5 gal bucket. 6 buckets into a 30 gal rubbermaid garbage can with Prime & aerating powerhead running at at correct temp. Then 10 buckets out of tank, then new water pumped into tank from garbage can while i top the gc off with 4 more buckets.
 
Usually takes me under and hour and a half when I used to do a 125, 75, 55 and a 10. Soon the 125 will be going and I'll be cleaning a 210, 75 and a 10g. I don't mind cleaning tanks, kinda enjoy it.
 
About 4 hours here but most of that is draining and filling. I recently switched my w/d pre filter pads over to Porets foam and that knocked off 10 min. of spraying the floss pads in the sink.
