Getting started
Let us begin. If the depth of your fish tank allows, connect the shorter end of the pipe to the water hose.
Doing so gives you the freedom of draining more water, than having the shorter end in the fish tank.
Make sure the hose is connected real tight, as you wouldn't want any water leaking or even bursting from the
hose. Shut the tap for now.
If you have decided to keep the water hose rolled up when not in use, you may now drag it across your room.
Otherwise, now do your best to hide the unsightly water hose. I personally have mine hidden behind my
furnitures. And depending on the layout of yours, it might seem impossible. This is perhaps the biggest
disadvantage of this method.
"...do your best to hide the unsightly water hose."
(For those not keeping hose connected to tap when not in use)
On the tap and sink end of the hose, cut off about 10-20cm of it. Connect the 2 hoses together with the
2-way hose connector. Once again, make sure to connect tight.
We are done! Now let's try draining from the tank, which is usually the first thing to do in a water change.
