Water Changes...................................................................................................................Water Changes.................................................Water Changes......................More Water Changes......................Even more Water Changes;)

A true pita:(
especially 75% WCs on my 72G bow using a siphon, 1 home depot bucket, and 3 ikea 3 gallon buckets:( I have a system so while the tank is emtpying out...........I remove the window screen, slide open the winodw, throw the water on the roses(they are doing better with all the "crap" in the water) and while the tank empties out, i fill up 10+ large kitchen cooking pots with RO and Tap Water..........and 1 26G tub with tap water..........and then lug it over to the tank........and im done........takes around an hour:(

You're not alone, I like doing mine too. I have a window + hose right next to the tanks, so it goes pretty quickly.

Definitely the expense of HOB filters in the long run, I don't want to pay 5 bucks a cartridge, especially when I need 3 a month.
