Too many fish?

Here I sit and think I must be the luckiest fish keeper around I just
connect a pipe to the mixer tap in the kitchen open the cold and some hot
till the temp is more or less the same as the tank usually test it by
"feeling" it then shove the hose in the one side while I drain the other
side ...

Those of us with utility water that is chlorinated can't do that. It would
use a lot of dechlorinator.

sine I connect the pipe for draining to my no longer working undergravel
filter and it drains faster then the inflow I just leave it till there is
about 1" of water left just enough for the fish to be upright/slanted
then I stop the drain process and just let the tank fill up ... dont
bother with Tap safe stuff ...
switch back on the heater and lights and whalla ... 90-100% water
replacement once a week

Sounds good! :-) I bet the fish love it. I had too many accidents with
refilling using a Python but will soon have my husband add a U so it can't
slip out of my tanks again.

120L tank mostly guppies(with Loads of babies), swords, mollies, Pl*c,
Ancestrus, and few corries ohhh and a mother of a snail and few plants
....

I drain mine out the back door (saving about 50g for the tropical house
plants), then refill with a bucket.
