Did my first water change ...YEAH!!

[Mrs Fish]

Only did about 7 gallons, but better than nothing. Realized I needed a pump to pump water from sump .. so was having to bail it out!! With a pump I can probably do an 8-9 gallon change, which is about 8%.

Went smoothly .. looks great. Now I feel so happy!!

LOL. Glad you're so excited!

I just use a siphon to do my water changes. But then again my tank is a heck of a lot smaller than yours!

 

[Mrs Fish]

LOL! I'm just pleased it went OK! I couldn't get the siphon working because the sump and bucket were on the same level .. tried many times, and drank quite a lot of the tank water!!!

There is nothing better than getting that weekly job "over with". I am working toward the level of accomplishment were I will only need 1/2 roll of paper towels to clean up afterwards.
