That was the same for me until last night. WHile im draining if im not vacumming, im rinsing filter material or preparing my buffers. And once its refilling il adding the buffer and aquasafe. My tank small so i dont have much time
lol. well right now i have a 55, but soon im going to have to use that same technique on a 150 gallon when i have it set up...
thats going to take a while...

I gaze at the tanks and do nothing, afraid of overflows or busted heaters or anything else that Murphy Law might dictate......

I do all the work with a bucket(and a gravel vac) so no rest for me.
