Who else still uses buckets?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Ive been using a syphon and buckets for a couple years. Didnt realize the python would save me so much hassle. Going to be switching thats for sure!
 
A pyhton system is not expensive to make either. Just buy the Python faucet pump ($8 at Petsmart), attach any garden hose and voila! instant python at fraction of the cost
 
i use the bucket my tanks are in my basement didn't know there was any other way to do it i just carry buckets back and forth up and down the stairs

and it works exactly like a python? so you can use it to siphon water into the sink as well as fill it up from said sink?

I still use the bucket method :( pain in the ass
 
Yup! I actually bought a 25ft python and I then realized that I could have made the damn thing! I wanted to extend it, but I wasnt about to pay for the expensive pyhton extension kit so i bought a 50ft garden hose.

All the python parts are the same thread as a regular garden hose. Basically, what makes a python do its job is the faucet pump, the rest is just plain hose and a shut off valve!

I'll change the water on my 90 with a bucket after I pop my A-track in...lol....I still use a bucket to siphon fry out and to hold my python of course!!!


Being from the 60's I think you had a typo here I believe you meant to say
8-track.instead of A Track..................:popcorn:
 
I sucks i just did a whole water change on my 55 and 75. I forgot i could have ran them out of the window into the drain....

now i have to fill them. All i have to say is it's good way to work out your arms.
