going to buy a python

Good product, the Bee's knee's........:thm:
 
thanks. i think it will make cleaning my 11 tanks a little easier. it takes to long to clean all them with a reaguler siphon and buckets and then fill then back up with buckets.
 
I was a bit disappointed, mine is kind of slow to syphon & doesn't suck hard enough draining into the tub to pick up everything especially in low tanks. Plants that get sucked in are hard to get out the other end.

I have a 50ft hose so it's a bit of a pita to drain & wind up. Too much bother if I'm only doing a couple smaller tanks.

Still, it's great on the refill & I'm not sorry I got it. There's a definate learning curve, I've gotten better at it, it's been 4-5 months now.
 
Don't. You can buy all the parts and a garden hose from your local hdw store for less than a "Python". The faucet adapter is a waterbed adapter. Some hdw stores and almost all bedding stores have them for $5-$7.00.

You can adjust the speed of the syphon by letting your water run, the the faster the water is out of the faucet, the faster the syphon. Also, you can suck the water out of the hose pryor to winding by letting the faucet run.
 
One thing I've wondered about: what about the temperature of the water from the tap going into the tank? Does it matter if you're a few degrees off if you're changing, say, 20%? :confused:
 
A degree or two one way or the other will be okay.
