python/canister filter

[toehead11183]

customer came in with a questin. he want to know the best way to hook up a python to his canister filter.
i asked him why he would want to and he replies so that he doesn't have to drain and add water to the tank. he said he has two oscars in a 55 and they get real messy. he is tired of draining water and refilling the tank when he vaccums the gravel
i looked at him like he was as smart as a cinder block.
please tell me that i am not the only one who thinks this guy asked a stupid question.

it's amazing how many mis-informed walmart fishkeepers are out there. But everyone has to learn from somewhere.

Your confusing stupidity with ignorance...
Did you explain the nitrogen cycle, the effects of even minimal (20-40ppm)longterm exposure to NO3 on fish and the need to remove it via water change?

May be he wanted to hook up the gravel vac and use the micron filter to do a good job with the clean up and then do a water change. Ive heard some people do that. I got a mag 350 but never even used the micron filter,(or carbon for that matter) I just use my python no spill and fill. Its the best invention in the world imo.
