Water Changes?

[imagirlgeek]

No way I could do them all on the same day. I usually tackle a room at a time. Like, I'll do the 240g and 210g on the same day, then the living room, then dining room and a couple in the office, then the rest of the office. It just depends. The filters are a pain though. Water bill runs about $100 a month...more or less.

Do all of them on the same day, and it takes about 2 1/2 hours. I am draining 3 of them at a time so that it does not take long to do water changes, and I fill with water hose.

Anyone using an inline thermometer to check water temp while doing a water change ?
