The thing I don't like about my Aqueon Water Changer (similar to the python) is I have to remove the plastic vacuum thingy in order to use the end of the hose for a stronger suction and it's easier to clean sand. The plastic vacuum is too bulky, not easy to get around decorations. I wish they could design it a little more better and also make the suction stronger. I think the ones who designed it never actually used it in a fish tank lol
