Hey guys, I have a 220 in my apartment and have found that the water changes are becoming very difficult (filling buckets, throwing them over the second story) is there a very efficient way to do this. The only other way i can think of is maybe a water hose siphon to the bath tub.

I have a 350g and I was in the same boat you are in so to speak. I went and bought a 3000gph submersible pond pump. Drop the pump in, run an outlet hose off the output to your drain of choice and plug it in. It takes me about 5 mins to drain 50% of the tank. It cut my water change time by half or more. Pythons like the above poster mentioned are fine for smaller tanks, but in my experience they drain way to slow to make a waterchange of 100-150g very efficicient.

how did you pull that off "having a 220g in an apartment" most apartments won't let anything bigger than a 55 run....
i have a 180 (also in an apartment) I just use a python. takes forever becaues its slow, but i don't pay for water so i don't care if it wastes water. just hook it up and do something else while it drains/fills.
