Curious? How often do you get water on your floor during a water change

Never for me because I don't do water changes. lol.

I voted 25%, but I’m talking about maybe some drips, and I have absorbent mats down whenever I work on the tank so it’s generally not even something to clean up.

If you’re asking about serious spills that require stopping what you’re doing and cleaning them up, then almost never. Maybe once a year or so.

I said 100% meaning I need to wipe up. A gallon or more is rare. Drops every time. A cup or so, enough to make me need to try and get a towel under something in an annoying way, more frequent than I'd like....

Or is it 100%? Divide by zero can be tricky…

I brought Traps from Harbor Freight. Use it every time I do water change. Fold it and store it when I'm done.

Never. I have drain and RO line connected to the tank. Water chnage just as simple as press fill , add salt, mix and flip another switch to drain and fill.

Probably 25% of the time but i havent done a water change in a while.
