My 15% water change just turned into a 50% waterchange! Sometimes if you believe in yourself you can get so much more done!!!
I accidentally siphoned 35% of the tank’s water on to the floor
Hey! I’ve never once gotten more than a few drops of water on the floor. I suggest getting a python syphon! It’s worth it, I promise. We have 60 feet of syphon. It hooks up to the sink, the water from your tank goes into the drain, no more carrying buckets! You can pour the water from the sink directly into your tank, just pour the water conditioner into the tank before you start! It’s super easy, water changes only last about 20 minutes, even with the 55 gallon tank. It’s a little pricey, but well worth it!
cant pour freshwater directly into a saltwater tank like that.
Python water changers are AWESOME, you’ll never have to carry a bucket again, but they don’t work on saltwater.
For those unaware, the water for a saltwater tank’s water change has to be mixed outside the tank, then added in. You can’t just pour salt and water into the tank and wait for it to mix, you have to specifically mix it outside, to dissolve the salt mixture, then add it.
