You guys need to stop player hating and get a job that will give you weekend off. Getting weekend off is overrated since stores closed early and traffic is still a pain. I rather have two weekdays off vs the weekends.

I also have every weekends off so I get my waterchange done in the morning to get it out of the way. Then I enjoy the rest of my weekend.:D 125,75,20,12 BTW, I hope none of you are doing water change with the bucket system. I would've quit a long time ago if I have to go back to the bucket system.
 
sat and sunday
weekends rock for tank mainatenance
sat - 2 6' tanks
sun - remaining 10 tanks
 
I clean two tanks a day minimum. Do that until they are all done, then start over. I like to do small frequent water changes on my tanks.
 
I do water changes on Fri and Tue, I have Friday off so I do the change when ever, Tue I work so it gets done around noon or midnight. I work Sat - Wed 3pm to 12pm

I actually still use the bucket system. I enjoy the time it takes and it is very relaxing for me, and I get to spend more time observing my fish. That makes it easier to tell if there is a problem. When I finally do my very large tank I may change my method slightly but i will still do a lot of the work by hand.
 
i use the buckest system too. its an excuse to spend more time with my fish which does relax me so its a win win situation :D

I like to do things efficiently and save time to relax. I like to relax by watching my fish, too. Trust me, I used to do bucket system and I hated doing it that way. Only good part about bucket system is that you are more likely to not over fill.

All you need is a pump, clean container, and long hose.
