LOL...I was thinking the same thing.You had a 120 without a python???? Man, that must have sucked. I even use a python on my 10 gallon, I can't imagine not havng one. (I guess I could if I only had one 10 gallon, but on larger tanks its a must.)
My python is a life-saver...I couldn't imagine what I would do without it. It's money well spent.
