water change after cycling?

lilsoccakid · July 11th, 2007

hi everybody. i am aware when my tank cycles that i need to do a 50% water change to get my nitrates down. i was wondering what the easiest way to move all this water is. i have been using a 1 gallon milk jug but that takes a while. i was thinking maybe getting a vacum with a long hose and just let is suck the water right out my window! thanks for ur advice!

A gravel vacum and a bucket is simple enough for me. Just make sure if you are using the bucket to put water back in. That it is a bucket that is used strickly for your fish. Don't want to contaminate the poor guys. LOL
