i usually drain sand through the python out the back door but how do you remove gravel. i use a big net and scoop it out. is there a better way?

you can technically use the same method if your tube on the python is large enough. just take out the extra piece that sticks out more and only use the tubing. when water is being syphoned, the gravel will come with. that is how i use to rid my gravel from the tank instead of scooping.
