I love water changes! Every week I love watching the siphon suck up all the dirt. It's so fulfilling! Feels like a great accomplishment every time! Makes maintenance something to look forward to lol

I feel a sense of accomplishment but I'm no sure it takes me to the utopia state it takes you lol ;)
 
I like doing my water changes too! Love knowing their clean for another 4 days :)
 
I hate doing water changes, but I do them because I don't want my fish to suffer.
 
I absolutely hate water changes lmao. Bringing myself to start doing one takes a lot but once I start I can't stop cleaning/maintaining my tank haha. It's just the initial push to start the siphon that I have trouble with and now my sink is more then 25' from my cichlid tank so back to luggin buckets around for a little while :(

Matt, I'm sure you know this but... They do have a 50' water change hose and you can always buy more hose.

I hate luggin buckets.
 
Ya I know.... I've been meaning to make a trip to lowes for a fitting and some hose to add like 10' but I seem to procrastinate a lot if its not absolutely necessary lmao
 
Right now I run my python to a tub about 5' from the tank and I just scoop out the water as it comes with a bucket so I'm not really having to carry any buckets but its still more of a hassle then just turning it on and waiting for it to fill lol
