I'm happy that's done. I did water changes in two of my aquariums and got Stella's new home ready. I took the 10 gallons of water for her new home from her old home so I wouldn't have to take the time to the water. I tested it and the parameters are pretty much dead on.
Since I moved her I was able to do a significant water change on my 55 I took about 1/3 of the water out. Then I removed the stones vacuumed and reset the stones. I did all this while the fish were in the tank. It went well enough and now they have all new nooks, crannies and caves to explore.
It really is a job I don't mind at all. To do both tanks it tanks me about 2-3 hours depending on how thorough I am. When it's done - what a great feeling just knowing my fish are happy fish!
