Sounds like quite a puzzle. With that situation, how do you do water
changes in general? What is your work-around for making and dealing with
25g of salt water?

I have a python hose. I set up a 32 gallon trash can beside the aquarium, dump
in a box of Tropic-Marin, hook the python up to the kitchen sink, and fill up
the can. Takes maybe 15 minutes, and I can steal the kitchen for that long. When
it's full, I drop in a powerhead to circulate the water and let it season for
three days. Then I use the python to syphon 25 gallons of water out of the tank
(I use the drain in the laundry closet) and use the powerhead to pump the new
water in.

Obviously, it would be very easy to drop a phosphate reactor in the can while
the water's seasoning, but, as Pszemol points out, it'll be better to just run
one on the main tank every so often.
