I'll help you. Next time don't remove half the water until you have something to replace it with.

 . What are you using to mix the water with? One idea would be to use a drill with a new paint stirring attachment. Or a strong pump. Either way it will still take some time to mix the water.

I used to have that problem. I recently bought (2) 18 gal rubbermaid contaiers. 18 gal each, one it for RO/DI water, the other is for mixing.
Cost $10-15 dependsing where you go. a decent power head $15+ Heater for mixing...$25 So for about $60 you can have a decent water changing setup, this way you use the powerhead to mix the water for you. And the heater is to bring the water temp up to what is in the tank so that you don't stress the inhabitants of you underwater paradise.

I don't have any inhabitants though. I have to get a new lid, more rock, better lights, and a UV staralizer.
