Please, as above really, I want to see if I could fit it onto my tap because I'm sick of spilling half a bucket of water onto my floor everytime I do water changes.

It comes with a faucet adaptor. For an outside threaded faucet, you leave the washer in place. For the inside threaded faucet, you just remove the washer.

PetSmart has it on sale right now for $26 with orders over $50 shipped free. Measure the length from your farthest tank to your faucet to get the size hose you need.

I just set the camera on close-up and zeroed in. Problem is, it was so huge and got a bit fuzzy on making it so small. All my camera shots are huge and all need resizing.

Thanks for that hobbs, unfortunately my taps are oval shape so I'll have to revert to using buckets.

...there must be an oval/round adaptor! I know things are a tad different in England (I have an English friend that just moved to Newcastle) but not that different!

The faucet itself may be oval shaped but what about the water line that shots out the water? My faucets are rather square looking but when you look up inside, you still see the threaded round water-line.

cocoa pleco, the adaptors have now all gone to the copper. There was a slip of paper in the box my python come in that said adaptors that were once plastic have now changed to the copper. I imagine many of the plastic ones got stripped threads in time.
