I love my real python, but if I dont keep the water running while I am draining the tank, it would take days or ever weeks to do so, but maybe thats because my sink is "too high in the air" ?....

Yup,, you have to take the pump off (it restricts the water flow) and put it on the ground, outside. Works like a charm.
 
I use a waterbed drain and fill sink adapter looks like the python adaptor and a garden hose with a peice of clear pvc never had any problems doing it this way for years. Never bought a python but my lfs uses one. Dosn't seem to work any better IMO but i never tested it myself. Just cant see paying 50 plus dallors for something u can get at a hardware store for under 20 dallors and if i need more then 50 ft i just add another hose.
