water changes in large tanks

[reinhart]

right now i have a 10 gallon tank and i have a 2 gallon bucket for weekly water changes

i'm going to buy a 200 gallon tank someday and i was wondering what you people use for changing water. Do you just do a few gallons at a time and make 10 trips? that water is heavy

i once saw a hose on the net, here's a link

has anyone tried it? how has it worked for u?

there are currently several threads in the tropical chat section about pythons. i have 8 tanks, 2 pretty big, and i couldn't do it without my python. check out the threads in tropical chit chat though, i would link it but haven't figured out how yet. B)
