Never had fish before. I thought itd be easy, but 30 minutes into googling proved otherwise.

Any beginner tips?

The way pro fishman described it to you sounds like a Nightmare from Hell #_#.

So my method for how to easily replace the water each week.

You have a 75 gallon tank, to replace 20% of it a week. Monday morning, Wednesday morning, Friday morning. Take a five gallon bucket, dip it into your fish tank suck up 5 gallons. Dump it down your toilet (it will flush its self). Then fill it up with water, add what ever stuff you like to use to it and a declorinator. Fill it back up. That will cycle 15 gallons a week (20% of 75).

Sunday morning just top it off.

If this is to much trouble for you, get some fish from your local river. They will never die no matter how much you torture them to death #_#.
