too bad my apartment has a stupid faucet in the sink, the attachment wont work on it, I guess I could get one long enough for the bathroom instead...

looks like im stuck with the ol bucket lol


which part is theone you buy? http://www.pythonproducts.com/repparts.html

it will work on faucets-and garden hoses. thats what part 13A is for. The main part you need is 13B the faucet pump and a regular garden hose

I know nothing of that era besides sex, drugs, and rock and roll!!!

Wish i could of been there. Guess i got my taste of that in the late 90's early 2000 in the "rave" scene. Whoops!

I use a 20 gallon rubbermaid container and siphon out the water as i'm vacuming the gravel, i do this 2 times so i drain out 40 gallons, i have a 135 gallon tank.. when its time to refill, i will fill the container again with clean water, add conditioner, and salt - than i pull the contain back to the aquarium and bucket the water back into the aquarium 5 gallons at a time...the whole process takes me about 45 minutes to do, very easy and simple task to do

get a powerhead or pump and pump it into your tank

I use a python, syphon into a bucket and connect a hose to the tap for the refills for my 200gal, takes about 30 minutes to do a 50% water change

135 55 75 all by bucket

 

[robroy]

still use buckets on my 100G-change about 6 buckets each week. I'd love a python but I don't trust my youngest not to disconnect the thing.
I also use the old water and put it in my water butt in the garden for use on the garden plants.
