So, I have a QT with a Hippo in it. Trying to quick water changes in a small tank was a little frustrating because the heating elements I have are too big to put into 5 gallon buckets to change out water. So this is what I did which worked and was quick.
I got a Poland Spring 5 gallon water container. Filled it up with fresh salt water.
Filled up my kitchen sink with hot water only about half way up the 5 gallon container.
Put the 5 gallon container in the water and added 1 pot of boiling water. (Not necessary but added the "quicker factor".)
The hot water from your sink is approximately 100 + degrees so within 20 minutes your water will be at the exact temp you need.
This was quick and I did not have to wait until a huge container of water heated up with a heater. Just figured I would share
