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.
