If you have a few bucks, I purchased a submersible pump from sears. It can pump up to 26 gallons a minute, and you can either hook up a garden hose to it, or they do sell a larger hose for it. I have used it to empty my 55g, and did it in no time, and would work as well putting water in off the floor. I like having it too, knowing if I had an emergency, the two 55g's I have could be quickly emptied. I think it cost me around $60, which isn't free, but it can be useful around the home.
