    I do mine close to the time that the day lights go off. Seems to help the fish calm down from the stress of the WC.

    This is where you should plan a sump if you upgrade.

    You can then change water from the sump and never bother the fish!!
    Does water always taste like salt and poo????

    I like to siphon out detritis while doing my water change.
    So doing it that way wouldn't help with that.

    I have always found that good flow prevent build up that would need syphoned out of the DT. I just keep a couple of powerheads down low, issue solved.
