Get a gravel vac !

I do something similar with my 75 gal...

I mix up two pails of water and when I ready I use a third pail and siphon off two pails of old water (shut my pumps off of course)

Then I stack the fresh water on top of one of the empty pails and siphon the fresh water back into sump and turn the return pump on. I do this with both pails.

The siphone has an auto start mechanism so by shaking it up and down it starts on it 's own.

Works well and takes about 10-15 minutes, siphon was about $12 at LFS.
