what does it do that makes it easier? i tryed one of those pythons once and it wouldnt hook to my sink.
my sink has a little unscrewable rim thing on it for decoration that didn't allow mine to fit when i first tried it... does yours have one? there's also a sink adapter kit for like 7 bucks.
i had mono for 3 months so i know how it is. just lay down and rest, then if u feel up to it do one-2 tanks a day
well, this is how i drain...
look... no hands!
still no hands.
filling up the bucket i'll use for rinsing and cleaning...
when i'm done, this gets kicked over. it never gets carried anywhere full of water.
if it's not freezing out, i'll use the hose spigot...
right now, i'm using the laundry machine line.
got one of these to split the line... http://www.google.com/products/cata...a=X&ei=JEQaT73NGamt0AHrhvXlCw&ved=0CGcQ8wIwAQ
one end goes to the hose, the other to the washer.
once we get the crib built and out of the way, i can get in under the basin tub in that closet and solder in tees for the hot and cold, then put a basin tub spigot with a 3/4" hose bib on the basin tub. it needs one anyway.
sometimes i barely leave any water in the 50 when i do w/c's...
it's almost effortless, so why not?
media rinsing for your pleasure, since i already have the img tags ready...
I very often have bad days - anywhere from 1-30x a week! I know there are only 7 in a week but I feel so bad it might as well be 30! I had to accept that this is just the way things are and I do water changes anyhow. I usually do just one room a day and the next day move on to another room and do those tanks if I have the strength. Some days it's just one tank and some days it's all the tanks. I push myself because I can't count on having good days.
I went to hardware store and bought a brass adapter to screw garden hose to sink tap. My water is too cold to use without adding some hot water, even in the summer.

that's the way to do it, but i don't quite fit under that particular sink anymore if anything happens while the hose is connected. on the bathroom sinks, i'd have to change a spigot anyway, so i figure why not put that extra spigot where we need it.
ha! found a solution... http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/diy/161305-diy-solution-faster-water-changes.html#post1679160
