I currently use the Python hose system that connects to my bathroom faucet, which works well but I hate dragging that hose all over the house every week. Is there a better/more efficient method?

Thnaks in advance!
 
Unless you plan on installing plumbing straight to your tank and a drain, or move the tank to a better location, I don't think it gets much easier.

Precisely what I did and while I was at it I made everything automatic. The aquarium has a constant inflow of new water and a pump to remove excess automatically. Definitely worth while for a 410 gallon aquarium!

A) water bill?!
b) water quality/conditioning? how are you supposed to know if a contaminant gets introduced to the water table in which you get your tap water?


that's a great idea, but i don't like the idea of constant water flow at all times.

Durn, and I thought it far superior to sloshing 5 gallon buckets all over the house!!! LOL
 
I think it depends on how big your tank is. I dont mind Changing my 10gl Water but my 120g salt is Sucky
 
Appreciate your python.... the hobby has come a long ways from buckets.
 
I store 25 gallons of water (aged to get the chlorine out) in gallon plastic jugs in a spare bedroom. I use "Arizona" ic tea jugs which are heavy duty plastic with a secure screw on top. When I do a WC I warm the water in a bathtub filled with hot water.
Then I use a gravel vac and clean out the gunk into a 5 gal bucket.
After watering the houseplants, i dump the rest in a flower bed.
Works for me.
