how are you doing your water changes?

My method is similar to Mojo's but I have a 50 gallon tank plumbed inline with the system that I can bypass with 2 valves. Drain the tank to basement sump pump, fill from identical tank sitting above it, salt it and wait 24 hours, open valves back up. Here's a pic.

I mix mine in a 44 gal brute trash can with a power head, I plumbed a 1" ball valve and spa hose into my 2" return line so I could pump the water out without ever lowering any water levels or flow in the tank.I plumbed in a dedicated drain in my fish room that goes outside on the ground,once I pull out x amount of water,I use a drop in pump in the trash can to pump new water back in.
 
I'm setting up a system where I only have to turn one valve. I will be able to do precise water changes effortlessly.
I bought a 150g water container for the sw. I can fill it with rodi and dump in a bucket of salt. That should yield the correct ratio & give me my desired salinity of 35.
 
I did my first WC yesterday on this tank...25 gallons of SW in a Brute can...emptied 25 gallons of tank water into empty brute...turned on pump and pumped 25 gallons back into tank...moved pump to old water and pumped into sink I installed into closet and 15 minutes I was done...Ill never use buckets again lol

Edit: MOJO Your my hero bro!
