After almost 4 1/2 hours of work, I finally got my Python hooked up and working!
I had to change the faucet in the little bathroom because it was so old and corroded, I couldn’t get the threads engaged. Old faucet out, new one in. The cutout on the countertop was too small to get to the locknuts on the waterlines. I finally got them tightened and no leaks.
No more bucket brigade! My God I am so happy!!
Next step is the rescaping of the rocks and driftwood. I bought a bag of pool sand and a bag of oyster shell from the feed store. I got it rinsed out today. I put my son and his friend to work on it.. That turned out to be an easier job than I had initially thought. LOL!
Doing a water change now. I wish I could go ahead and finish but have work in the morning. All of the beautiful tanks I’ve seen on this site and the great tips and advice inspired me. I’ve been prepping for this for a while as funds and time permitted. The Python was needed to bring it all together for ease of maintenance.
Anyway, thank you, everyone for inspiring and informing me to get me to this point. I’ll take pictures before, during and after.

It is way better then the other brand and as always makes the job so much simpler.
). I only connect to the sink to fill, so no water is wasted.
. I used to schlep buckets around, there's no way I'd be running 6 tanks with plans for 1 more if I still had to do that. I've actually got the Aqueon water changer, more or less the same thing as a Python.
