Boy..but without a python, 70% WC's via 5gal bucket would suck....

Use a garden hose and dump prime in there while you are filling up. I'm doing 70-80% weekly on 5 tanks 55g and larger.

[cichlid1409]

you dont need a python just a hose/tubing would work ... and on larger tanks a 1"+ hose/tubing for draining is awesome!

I am unsure about getting away with weekly changes with discus. I do 70% every other day.

this shouldn't really be a surprise to anyone that is a regular on HFB. people have been praising these large water changes for sometime...but for those that need evidence it is now published.

dang! now thats alot of work with or without a python.

I use a 1" hose drained out the door takes about 10 min on my 140 then I fill with my python now that takes some time since I run it through a carbon filter. Refill takes about 2+ hours depends on how lazy I am. If I am feeling lazy then I speed it up and dump in Prime.
