I am tired of carrying around buckets for water changes on my 150. I just heard about this python no spill (I know I'm probably a decade late lol) and was wondering how it actually works and if anyone knows where I can get it for cheap. Thanks in advance.

Howdy,
It's nice for gravel vac and water chances on small tanks (40 gal). Due to the small diameter of the hose, it takes forever to drain a /\/\onstertank. The vacuum it creates to drain into the sink is laughable, gravity into the toilet is much better. All in all a nice toy and a must for gravel/sand vac. But it cannot replace the practicality of one (or two) larger diameter garden hoses.

I bought a 25' vinyl hose and fittings to attach it to my kitchen/bathroom sink for about 1/3 the price of a python... it works just as well...
This is the cheapest you'll find, and mine even came with a free brass faucet adapter (instead of a plastic one).
$23 for the 25' version, best $23 I ever spent.
