When you stay on the 10% schedule then it's quite easy
Especially if you use those 5Gal Spring Water jugs
Especially if you use those 5Gal Spring Water jugsWell I don't have a tank that big but they way I make water changes quick and easy is -
I pump the water out with a big *** water pump (straight out the window to the back yard) and then refill with a hose (just pour some dechlorinator in first). Whole process is quick and easy i never have to lift a single five gallon bucket!

With my python. I have a 210 and it's easier than my 55.
Hook it up to the faucet outside, watch tv/tank for about 10-15 minutes, put adapter on kitchen sink, refill. I don't refill from the outside hose because the water is not even close to the tank temperature.
Much easier than syphoning the 55 into 5 gallon buckets and then refilling.

I do the same thing, the python is one of the best things I've ever purchased.Steve737;1015776; said:
Just pump in dechlorinator huh.......Nah,i'd rather treat little bits of water at a time.........because at one point you'll have your WHOLE tanks volume of dechlorinator in at once,THEN chlorinated water STILL hits the fish.F' that dude.......even if i had a 500+ gallon tank i'd treat a 55 gallon drum then put in tank.cenecker;1015763; said:
What happens when you cannot use a python becuase your in a below ground basement with no sink?
Get a large pump(will be ordering tomorrow) and run the python threw the floor.

sorry, there was supposed to be a comma there...
"yeah 55 gallon storage bin filled, with dechlor, and pumped in sounds pretty good to me."
