I've used buckets!! Builds great arm muscle..haha!! I have goldfish in my 55gallon, so i've got a pretty good system going for when I do buckets. Doesn't take that many especially if you use bigger buckets.

You can unscrew the aerator off of most any faucet and get a garden hose adapter for a few dollars from the hardware store. This works for filling, and you can get a hot/cold mix out of it to maintain tank temperature. To drain siphon into your bathtub with the same hose.

So if you do the hose from the tap method do you just dump the required amount of water conditioner straight into the tank as you're filling it? I do 50% water changes each week so the bucket method takes a while.... I agree it's good exercise though!

That's all you need to do.
