You need to get quick disconnect valves. I couldn't imagine having a canister filter without them. Very worse case scenario you get about 2 ounces of water dribbling out when they get disconnected, but I unclip them with a towel wrapped around them so there is no spilling anywhere.Never really got the hang of getting NO water spillage while changing the old canister. I ended up putting it in an aluminum pan under the stand, so at least it was contained.
oh man ican just imagine your dog running around the house and water pourin all over the place lolMy german shepherd wanted to play with my python hose as it was filling the tank. He pulled the hose out of the tank, shaking the hose as water went everywhere. The worst just happened. Water change and all the fish died right away. Turns out that the town had started to add even more chlorine to the water supply and so my dose of Prime was not enough to deal with the extra chlorine. The chlorine was increased from 1- 2 parts per whatever to 3.5.
