Python Water Changer

[alby10]

Hi any idea where i can get a python in the Uk, fed up of holding a 25L drum above my tank and trying to pour it slowly into the tank, I just know i'm gonna drop it in the tank one day with god knows what Consequences.

I haven't seen it anywhere. I mentioned it to AquaEssentials who said they'd look into getting it.

In the mean time, there's a thread on DIYing it.

You can easily do something with two hoses anyway, one to fill from the tap and one to empty, providing you've got a drain or loo that is lower than the tank (don't suck on the tube though to get the syphon going! Yuk! )

I made one as per the sticky but then had problems getting the tank to empty. Add a powerhead to the end of the hose and no more problems

Water changes are sooo much easier now and can be finished in 30 mins

The only really annoying thing, is that is a whole £23 (incl. P&P) for the 50ft kit from Bigalsonline.com as opposed to £62 in the UK (and you even get a free algae mit with the one from Bigal's !)

So I'm getting a US colleague of mine to buy it for me and bring it over to the UK shortly. I'm just not going to pay that rediculous price for the same product
