Best way for water change?

[fishnugget]

I have a 210 gallon reef. Does any one know the most effective way to do water change. Best salt. Declorinator? water? Tap? I used to have someone do it for me but they left the area

get yourself a RO/DI filter and just add salt, mix well for at least a day, test salinity, adjust, then do your water change.

I have one as a top off filter. It is connected directly to by refug. How do I make enough water for a water change. How do i get it to go in a large holding chanber. Do i t it off?

I have a 44 gallon BRUTE heavy duty trash can with wheels (Home depot) that i fill, then put the lid on then wheel it over to the tank (about 15 feet) then pump it into the tank.

my RO/DI that is also connected to my refug, but i disconnect it and fill the trach can.

i dont know how far your RO/DI is from your tank or even if it's on the same floor, but there are many ways to do it, depends on your setup.

The Brute trash container on wheels like comatose stated is the best for a portable set-up! My system is mounted into a wall so I have a lot of room behind it. I use a 20 gallon tank as a top-off & water change system.
