Default water change advice

Only thing on my mind now after reading the three sets of help I've gotten
is how to turn the powerhead off in time when the water gets low in the
bucket or the aquarium is too full.


It takes my powerhead less than five minutes to pump the water into my tank. I
usually have a few tank maintenance items to keep me happy while it's running,
but I don't go anywhere. If I did. the powerhead would sit there in the gallon
or two of water left in the can and churn it up.

Then you have to run
up to the cord to stop the "siphon" effect.


I set my can up about three feet from the tank. Everything is within easy reach.
