Who else still uses buckets?

Who else still uses the bucket and siphon method for water changes? Also what is the largest aquarium you use it for?

My largest aquarium is a 75. So it is annoying, but doable.

Edit: Also how long does it take? My 75 takes anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and a half. Maybe i'm just slow.

Occassionally I will still use the ole bucket and siphon because I use tank water to water some of my container plants. Rest of the time its the python though.

I do a couple smaller tanks with a bucket. They are to far for the hose to reach.
