Draining a Tank

[crabsrkewl]

Does anyone know the easiest way to drain a (55 gallon) tank. I'm going to be switching to freshwater.
P.S. I just added that smiley face to the title to get your attention.

Billy!!!!! NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Why are you switching over??????? Although your tank would be pretty cool as a FW. Anyway.... what are you going to do with all of you live rock and things?

I haven"t been encouraging you to do this

. And besides whenever I try to help you, you either do nothing of what I suggested and buy knock-off equipment, or you trash whatever I give you. Im sorry for all that ive done if I was the one that led to this. anyway, what are you gonna do with all of the equipment and fish n things?

can someone actually help???

Perhaps you might employ a manual start gravity feed device. Or in layman's terms, a siphon hose.

The same way you do water changes. hose and bucket

When I emptied my 55 gallon I used one of my power heads and pushed a piece of tubing into the outlet and it pumped the water out quickly- Lots of luck with the frest water.
