I hate pleco poo.... I hate that tanks get very costly and I must find a 300. I hate my new gloves I bought to do anything with the tanks lol.
what I hate the most is the snobby attitudes of some in the hobby...I see it a lot from reef keepers who look down on people who keep FW cichlids or whatever. A lot of times some people such as myself doesn't go the reef route because I can't afford the costs involved, but that doesn't mean I'm less of an aquarist. In general I hate how some people involved mostly in reefs and also SW look down on Fw hobbyists, especially because there are plenty of expert-level stuff in FW, but they assume everyone has a 20 gallon with some danios

I used to have this problem (7.5 gallon buckets though!). I invested in two pythons and decided that I hated them even worse then lugging dozens upon dozens of 7.5 gallon buckets all day long!
Heck with the cruddy/ molassas slow pythons! I found a solution for utterly dirt cheap. I purchased an adapter for my sink to connect 1/2" Ppoly. tube to it and 150 feet of 1/2" Poly tube.
Around 50 feet of tubing give or take will reach all of my tanks from the sink for refilling, and the other 100 feet cut into around 50 foot lengths and connected to two seperate gravel vacumes and run outside allows me to drain two tanks while filling one simultaneously! This cut my overall water change time less than in half, with precious little physical exertion.
