My Python experience!

[Cameron]

I just got the 50ft python siphon for both my 55 and 29 gallons, mostly the 55. Anyways i decided to try it out on the 29g, it went pretty smooth, i kinda read directions as it was siphoning, lets say its just pretty stressful checking from you tank to the on/off switch to the sink to make sure its not overflowing. Once you get the rhythm down its not so bad. worked like a charm, i almost forgot declohrinator after like 5 minutes.. whoops. Anyways i;m sure it will be worth it with the big waterchanges for my 55g soo it was worth the $70 i paid for it.

That's great! The python saves a lot of heavy lifting...I love mine.thumbs2:

Less spills too caused by running around with buckets. Just watch the pressure, sometimes it'll flip the hose out of the tank! Good to have a helper at the sink.

When I just had my 55g and 20g going, doing water changes with buckets wasn't too too bad.

But as soon as I got my 80g with a 20g sump. Buckets were ridiculous... it was like an hour long episode changing water.


Now with the python it only takes like 20 minutes, I love it. It pays for its self.

Plus you can drain tanks that are on the ground which is what I love. When I cleaned out my sump, this is when I knew I loved it.

I just got one to use on my 125.. dang thing does not fit on my faucet.

I got all excited and pulled about 60 gal out of my tank cleaning ( I dump the water on my plants outside) and found out after I had the tank level low that I could not connect it to the fuacet... Lotsa buckets that day ;)

I'm looking forward to trying it with the rubber hose sink adapter.

That's funny! I almost did something similar but I only had a 20g at the time so it wasn't so bad. Do yourself a favor and take the python adapter with you to the store when you go buy the adapter. Just to make sure you get the right one. I also took the end cap off the sink's facet to make sure I got an adapter that would fit.

thanks for the replies, i did a WC on both of my tanks. yea 55g is border on which you should get it, but it'll be worth it to do both at once, Used it again yesterday its great soo worth it.

Harder to put off doing water changes too, since using python isn't very time consuming.

I love my python!! I run very hot water thru mine before putting any water in the tanks -- that way and bacteria or junk that may have built up in it is gone!! Maybe that sounds silly, but I feel better about things!!:fish2:
