I'd give it a day max and then onto treatment. Assuming they are coping ok, this would get the previous med out of the tank system. Assuming an ich med treatment is used, could just half dose the first treatment to allow fish to adjust.

The guys here must have a similar distance on some tanks. Only problem I’ve heard (once all fittings sorted) is slower water pressure the longer the hose.
I drain to bathtub using 13mm garden hose (just swapped from 12mm) about 10m / 33ft. The garden hose is kink resistant so doesn’t flatten/kink where resting on tank. I use a gravel vac tube to get it started but tank top is 6ft so helps for draining.
Then just fill with with garden hose and heaters on straight away.
Better systems I’ve seen age and heat water in a barrel or spare 6ft, then pumped to tank.
Can you get a python(?) water changer system your way? Heard of them but never used one.
I think the bigger tank is a good idea, though there are often the larger corner tanks on CL too, see them offered frequently around here.
Sounds nice! Much quicker and easier. I’m finding the buckets was a good workout but no more pouring / dumping water into tank from bucket and with hoses I can do larger water changes.
I’ve been using a Python at home for a few years now. Can’t imagine life without one, but I didn’t know I could get another 50 ft extension.
So here’s what I’ve come up with...I ordered just the pump part of the Python...the part that screws onto the faucet: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000...nger+parts&dpPl=1&dpID=41TJ5puMB5L&ref=plSrch
Went to Lowe’s and bought an adapter that fits the faucet at work. Then I screwed the pump onto the adapter, hooked a hose to the pump and it worked great!! Now I’ll get 100 ft hose from amazon for around $60 bucks, and I’ll have a way to fill my tank without carrying buckets!! I can drain outside my office door. There is a door right outside my office to the outside area behind the building. I couldn’t buy a 50 ft Python for what I paid for this rig.
Hey there, the fish look beautiful. Still love your yellow most.
I have been looking at Fancy GF this week. Nothing in the fish stores really. I did see a pretty nice, very large Oranda, but the wen was already covering the eyes. (I have seen that people do sip it off but I just can't deal with that right now, I will do what I must but honestly it gives me the creeps to do it a like a maintenance thing.) So still no GF for me. For now, will still enjoy yours!
