Hey,
For me that was pretty much the perfect situation. When it came time for a water change, I would pop the four latches on the top of the canister, dump all the water out into a bucket, pour the new water into the canister and close it up, then plug it in and go. I would rather have any detritus in one spot where I could remove it. Of course, that was on a nano (er, pico maybe) and I wasn't using a skimmer so that was the most efficient way of getting that detritus.
