I wouldn't say I like them, but they don't bother me. My Tiger Barbs bother me during though. They think my siphon and arm/hand are giant toys. Little punks.
I don't mind since I developed a much easier way, no straining with the buckets, just siphon the water through a garden hose into the yard. I fill the tanks up by using the same garden hose. I can get the weekly 30, 55 and the 150 tanks done with a 50% water change in under 3 hours
I enjoy sipping on a tropical drink on a Jamaician beach. I enjoy reading a good book. I enjoy watching a great movie. I enjoy eating a nice steak smothered in mushrooms . There are some things that are truly enjoyable and there are some things that just have to be done and are not much fun. Water changes are not fun.
I cant stand doing water changes... even tho I plug a Quiet1 to a python about 5feet away to the yard. As soon as I do a 24/7 waterchange then Ill LOVE doing them Lol.
I have to admit.. water changes is sometimes annoying.. my 150 gallon is raised 3 inches higher from the stand... so the tank is eye level.. I'm 5'9 so my tank is about 6ft.. so i have stand up with a chair to clean my gravel and lift buckets of water 6ft up to pour.. not something i enjoy.. but I do like how my tank is eye level...
