Underneath my 210 I have a 125 split into 3 sections. 2 are 20 gallon sections meant for water changes. One has RO/DI water going into a float valve. So my water change routine is
1. Turn on the mixing pump in compartment 1.
2. Add salt to compartment 1.
3. Wait a few hours or days.
4. Turn on a pump to fill compartment 2 from tank.
5. Turn on a pump to fill tank from compartment 1.
6. Every other time I have to empty compartment 2 into the drain under the house. I attach a long hose to a pump and turn it on.

No moving water around, takes minutes a week, there is a tv nearby or I can just watch corals while pumps do their jobs.

Timber where you located. I have pretty good set up form water changes. Basically can do a 50 gallon water change by throwing couple vavles open or closed.

Lots easier to show then to explain...if your close enough.
