Tired of carrying buckets!

[JAYBIRD1011]

I would do anything within my power and skills to keep my fish healthy. I do large weekly water changes. But I'm not 25 years old anymore and the bucket thing is wearing on me. I need a decent and low cost solution for moving water away from and back to my aquarium. The tank is in my living room and I don't have the luxury of a floor drain. A small pump of some sort maybe. But what? Suggestions please!

I have a pump connected to a 50ft garden hose and works for me. I water my lawn with the dirty water. Might be able to do the same. Other option is to get a python and connect to the nearest faucet and it comes with the kit.

You could use a Python if you have a sink less than 50ft away.

Drinking safe hose pipe, syphon outside or down the toilet, connecte to the tap or shower head in my case and refill.

The pythons are nice they come with everything you will need to hook up to a sink they come in 25ft 50ft 75ft and 100ft I believe.. I'm looking in to getting one very soon cause buckets deff stink especially if you have big tanks

Thanks guys. I have the vacuum part of the python. Didn't even know there were more pieces to it. I can see how that would help filling it. But how does that work for draining it? Also kno4te, what kind of pump do you use?

Nevermind the question about draining it. I kinda derped on that one. DUH! Anyway, I'll be buying the python kit. Thanks again.

You won’t regret getting the python.
