Easiest water change I’ve ever done. 10mins max. Need to make these as simple as possible otherwise water changes will be skipped.

25L removed from bottom of overflow.
25L added at return pump simultaneously.

2x Water drums
1x bung tap
2x 13mm vinyl tubing (2m each)

No pumps required.
Syphon was very easy to start between two filter socks as water was being pressured/flowing in that direction, pretty much started on it’s own.
Fresh water placed slightly higher than sump.

Bobs your uncle.

Hope this helps someone.
