what’s everyone doing to make water changes easy as possible? Doing it the way I do it is somewhat daunting. There’s gotta be an easier way. What’s everyone’s preferred method? Pic for reference

I have 2 plastic trash cans of 50 liters. One filled with my new water and one empty. I fill the empty one by gravity and pit a small return pump in the new water to pump it into the display :) I then use the same return pump to pump the old water to my sink

I use two 35 gallon container's for my RO. I heat one the day before. The next day I put in the salt and bring the SPG to the proper level. I do this with a 1/4 HP pump which I connect to a 2 foot hose for this purpose. Then I go to the Aquarium clean my skimmer pull out and discard my filter media in the sump. Then I have another pump which connects to a garden hose , and pump the water out of the sump. my tank is anti siphon so I just shut off power to the main pump only. After emptying the sump, I put new media filter in. I go back to my RO pump and change connections to another garden hose dedicated to the Aquarium only , and fill it with the prepared water. Done
