Same, I just guess the temps with my hand. Unless your putting in 50F water in a 80F tank it won't effect it much. Plus if your only doing 25% then the other 75% of the water should even it out quite fast.
When you do a water change do you...

Just like that. Two WC a week. (one 50% the next 20%) on my heavy stocked 125.
I just fill a bucket with luke warm water and add it... The rest of my family wouldn't appreciate having buckets of water sitting around the family room. I've never really de-chlorinated because our water doesn't contain many additives.
Use a python to siphon out 50% I used to pump the water back in from the tap but I added a step. I use a large rubbermaid container pump 80 degree water in it dechlorinate it for atleast 20 minutes then pump it in with a pond pump. Seems to stress the fish a little bit less than straight tap with prime mixing in the tank itself. This is on my 90 and 55's
Anything smaller and I just use 5 gallon buckets to fill it back up.
