I'm looking for users of these two products to give me the pros and cons of each. Big Al's is having a free shipping sale and I'm tired of lugging buckets, lol.

Here's the Aqueon, it's $49.99...

The Python is a little cheaper at $41.99...

So help me make a decision, pretty please. As always, thanks very much in advance for any and all help and/or suggestions. And thanks for this great forum. :)
 
I might understand not a lot of comments on the Aqueon, but I thought I was the only one without a Python.

Anybody?:popcorn:

Will it be that much cheaper? I know the 50 feet of hose alone would be around $30 from the local Lowes.

Has anyone here actually used the Aqueon? Is it any better than the Python? I'm still looking for the pros and cons of each as well. Thanks again.:)
 
I was luggin' buckets when I first got into the hobby and hated it. Once I got a python tank maintence almost became fun.
 
I haven't used aqueon. But looking at the "gray" hose, I would personally go with Python. (which is what i use) Because in the event that you suck up a small fish, you can see it chase it back to the sink before it is killed. That has happend once to me, believe it or not.
