how much time do you spend doing a waterchange?

[Slippery K]

Like the title states, im curious to see how long it takes people to complete a water change. On my 120gal I do a 45 to 55gal wc twice a week. Typicaly I do them every sunday and wednesday and takes me roughly 45min to complete, unless theres something good on tv in which case I may stop and watch for a few min lol, so I guess I spend roughly an hour and a half a week just doing waterchanges, not including basic filter maintenance or glass cleaning or any other jazz like that. My filters I usualy clean on the first day of every month.

2 LONG!!! Na i would say about 3hours once a week on all 3 tanks and cleaning, and then 20mins wc every other day on my 30g.

My tanks take about an hour the ponds on the other hand so much easier just drain it for x minutes then fill it back up.

In my origional post I just coverd my main tank, the smaller growout tanks dont take long at all, but there also all bare bottom which definatly cuts down on the time, just drain them, suck out the garbage and poop, then fill'er back up

My 125 takes between 45 mins to an hour depending if I give the glass a quick scrub!

From start to finish it takes about an hour for me, but my tank is in my living room next to my tv so I usually put my feet up and relax while it drains so it really isn't a big deal to do.

ZERO minutes per week on the pond. Drip system saved my life!
