Since i've heard alot of people complaining n b*tching about carrying buckets and getting soar backs etc. Here is the way i do my bucket carrying and wanted share it with all you lovely CH people. You can even take it up and down a few steps or maybe more idunno never tried, also the trolly straps can be used for extra safety. Hope it helps.

Make sure you use the cap of the bottle so you dont spill any water.

dumb dumb I have one of those out in the garage...don't know why I never thought of using it for that. It's a good idea.

Now that I have so many tanks and they are mostly upstairs, I just drain my tanks out the window and fill it with a Python water changer. It's so much easier than lifting those buckets.

If not, I know that lots of people have made their own with parts from the hardware store. Good Job

I forgot one more tool that i also use for water changing. This could be helpfull for people with deep or deepish tanks or just people that dont like to get their hands and arms wet OR for people who dont want to get bitten by their fish.

I used a piece of bamboo cut to the length i need and good ol cable ties whoot whoot
