Anyone know if yu can get hoses to connect to bathrooms sink taps to help eith water changes? I find myself having tgo carry buckets of water through, I would like to be able to just connect a hose turn the tap on and fill the tsank back up.
 
I use what i think is a 3/4" ID clear hose from homedepot. Use it to drain the 55 gal, turt tank and my 330gal. Then hook it up to the faucet nozzle (slips right on for me, and the shower when i take the head off) and refill. Mine is currently 25' long so it takes 1-1.5hrs to refill my 330gal haha
 
in the plumbing section, Home Depot and Lowes sell fittings that screw on to your faucet and then a hose screws onto them. I just bought one 2 days ago. Oddly enough, garden hose came in 12 and 50 foot lengths, and I needed at least 15 feet. The only hose they had that was 15' was an RV hose for potable water.. Figuring it couldn't hurt, I went with the RV hose, since it was cheaper than a 50' hose I would have had to cut.
