A tip I have heard of for pico water changes (but never tried), is to change a small amount everyday. Red Cup out, Red Cup in... It makes sense.

I like the idea, but I think the tank is just too small. It's only a gallon including the filter section. I mix up a gallon jug of saltwater every few weeks and it gets pretty cold between water changes. I would worry that I'd shock everybody dumping cold water in daily.A tip I have heard of for pico water changes (but never tried), is to change a small amount everyday. Red Cup out, Red Cup in...

But don't drink it!Try a shot glass!
I'll probably need a drink after doing a week's worth of daily water changes with a shot glass.But don't drink it!
Wow, that really is a small tank, pretty cool-looking tank though!!I like the idea, but I think the tank is just too small. It's only a gallon including the filter section.

Also, in purely practical terms, a Dixie cup would struggle to fit into this tank. Here's a size comparison with a standard Solo party cup (16oz). If you could get that in the tank without banging into the rocks and knocking everything over, I'd be impressed!
Looking great! Keep on keeping on. My "zoa garden" took a long time to hit its stride, but slow and steady wins the race! Did you ever sort anything out for the water changes? My first thought would be a 5g bucket with a lid on it with a small 25W heater, but that may or may not be ideal for you.
