That sounds good, thank you. Just curious, though, has anyone ever had a problem from using a garden hose?
Is a garden hose safe?

What I'm talking about is that python tubing is just vinyl tubing that costs twice as much. Pythons are over rated IMO, and waste a lot of water. You can accomplish the same with a gravel washer (not gravel vac), siphon J-tube, and RV hose. This method is cheaper, and much more effective.
If you are insistent on using a python, you can just buy the python essential parts, and use an RV hose for much cheaper. I have a full python unit, that is 100' long, and it ran me a total of $35.

if the hose has been run through continuously with safe water, there shouldnt be any problems, however I would personally prefer plastic fittings. even though even the python uses brass.
Yeah, we bought ours with the specific purpose of aquarium use. It never goes outside and I run water through it for a little bit just to wash it out/get the right temperature.
I use a small diameter garden hose with a aquaclear power head on the end for more flow. It gets the water out quick and then i just take the powerhead and put it in a rubermaid container which already has distilled dechloronated water in and turn it on and fill'er up.
