having found that my water changes were taking foever, and the distance,carpet,and GLEN bless her, were getting worse i decided to buy another big WATER BUTT, the same as ive already got for rain etc. anyway this one ive put in the garage[amazing just what people keep in their garages in stead of cars, mybe we should start ablog on whats in the garage this week.] having then fig out the distance from w/butt to window and tank[ 25mts] ive cut a hose pipe acc to size, im lucky to have agood guy with atropical fish and pound place, anyway having spoken to LUKE about my idea he sold me a garden pump new and they are not that expense, but if you get any problems let me know and i could perhaps send it from here, anyway all i did was connect pump to pipe,fill w/butt two or three days before water change add ph powder add and switch on heater[spare one for tank] , check water quality next morning. then day of water change, take dirty water out off tank via pipe through window to GARDEN WATER BUTT place in garage pipe secure properly, switch on garden pump,SWITCH OFF HEATER, DO MY TANK MANTINACE ETC ETC. THIS WAY THERE IS NO MESS AT ALL AND MORE IIMPORTANLY NO EARACHE. hope that this my help someone
