what steps do you take to change out your res? do you use r/o water or tap? i change out 5 70gal res every 3 weeks so i can relate to dealing with all that water. maybe my method will be quicker for you? i use two garden hoses and a sump pump.
for draining, i attach the draining hose to a 2000gph sump pump that pumps from the bottom (bought from lowes for $100). it drains my 70gal res in about 10mins. the pump drains to an 1/8th of an inch from the bottom of the res. when the water is almost done draining, i am able to slide a 2x4 piece of wood under the res to tilt all the water towards the pump. when its done, i dunk it into the next res and start draining.
while the next res is draining, i will attach a hose to my tap and fill the first emptied res directly from the tap. my tap is about 60psi and fills my 70gal res in about 15mins. if you use r/o water, you can use another sump pump inside the res you use to store your r/o water.
the cycle continues until all of the res are changed. having my fill and drain action going on simultaneously saves me time. i use have one hose to do all the draining first and filling after, but that's time consuming. let me know if this helps or if you have an idea that might make my method better.

your method definitely sounds similar mine. so you use a 1/4hp pump, maybe upgrading to a 1/3hp or 1/2hp can save you more time on the draining part, i use to spend a lot of time just waiting for the res to drain. when i do decide to clean my res, i use a broom to scrub the walls and bottom to loosen all the gunk up when its draining, but probably not as thorough as you.
here's another idea i was thinking about, they make reservoir liners (i'm not sure if they make one for 115gal). this might get expensive every 8 days but the nutrient solution never touches the res so there's no need to scrub and you can change out the liners every time you change the res which makes cleaning a snap.
have you tried any other medium with your e/f tables? i use hydroton too but it gets real heavy when dealing with a lot of tables. i was looking into perlite because it's so light but i can't reuse it.

Other than dont scrub them, dont change them so often etc, all I can suggest is moving the reses to another spot where you can access them better. My future plans have all the reses in one room and easy access to them for maintenance
I dont get that anal. Every couple weeks I just connect a hose to the pump and pump them out. Fill with water, flush for a day, dump, fill with new nutes. Only after harvest does everything get a good cleaning.

GOD i am glad i found this thread daddyhaze myman! reading through what i missed during the holidaze and had some good old laughs. u a funny guy haha, nvm ^^
just checking in, the thread isnt looking less promicing ill admit
i see flowers starting to come about.
btw, that bong, cant help myself for being such an oppinionated dick hahaha
but i cant stand those long ones like that, i really really have come to like these with the rubber lid that cleanes so easily. and these gives such a fantastic compression and full thickness of smoke, also the choke empties out so quickly and powerful imo.
but thats just IMO, subjectively!
they came down btw
