While doing a water change on my 5 gallon I had an idea. I have 2 ten gallon tanks behind my 5 gallon. Why not put the 5 gallon bucket on top of the 10 gallons rims and have it fill up the tank while I am emptying out the tank. I put the bucket on where the 2 edges meet on both tanks so it would have a better foundation. Is it possible that this will eventually crack the glass? It is 50 pounds of water so I am a bit concerned if I should continue doing this.
 
I have 6 people advising against it, and 3 people saying it's ok. I guess I have my answer.
 
Aqueon Aquarium water changer is the way to go. Simple less mess no buckets required. I found this one was better then the Python as it has ball valves at the vacuum end also. Check it out best $30 I spent on water change equipment.

I wouldn't do it. I would also drain all the water out that you want out before adding because if you are doing 50% WC and fill while you drain you are really only changing about 25% of old water.
