Python vs Aqueon

I have both. I bought my Python about 8 years ago. It was my 2nd one. The first got lost in the divorce. I don't use the siphon pump, I just syphon out the door. I got an Aqueon with the 24" tube with a used tank I bought. I don't have a preference. I use them both, depending on the depth of the tank. I have a friend with an Aqueon with a check flap in it for some reason. I don't remember why, but I thought it was a neucense. Maybe mine had one and the previous owner removed it.

Last I checked python was American made and Aqueon was not. That may have changed though.

Aqueon is junk, I couldnt tell you how many water flow assembly's I had to replace, I started to buy extras just in case because a lot of my water changes are done at night when all the stores are closed. The hose is very stiff as well and kinks up easily.

I just got a new Python with the brass fitting, much nicer. I had one back in the day when you could buy them from stores, I got mine off of Amazon.

ive used the aqueon for almost a year now and love it.. just make sure you order a brass faucet adapter cuz the plastic ones suck

A hose. A non kink hose works better then the aqueon lol my buddy has it and doesn't stop complaining about the things people have already mentioned.

I just use a hose, to a big container (30 gallon cooler) then treat the water before pumping it into the 70.. other way around, I pump it right out my window. A LOT cheaper then either python or aqueon

I've heard great things about pythons though, so I would for sure go with that over the aqueon
