would'nt a python freze the water?


Or just get some Hose pipe thing and do the same tihng you do for Gravel cleaning..

Like suck through one end with the other end of the pipes in the tank and into the drain/sink

It a big gravel vac. You can hook it straight up to your faucet. You can get them in 25 and 50 foot lengths there pretty expensive but you can find articles online to make your own. The tube itself is bigger around then a gravel vac tube also so you get more pressure.

Agreed with Nelly.

I mean it helps meh gain some muscle you know what i mean

hell nelly i thought driving buses was good exercise. Running over small Kids when they play "Chickin"

TIP : When comming across kids playing chickin Drive slow then at the last few seconds Switch straight into 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8'th gear and BAM!!!! The childs gone ( or hopefully alive )

Back on Topic.

tbh theres on point if its a tank as small as 3ft

Its the muscle thats the trouble, I have bigger biceps than my hubby now with 9 tanks!!! plus I have to climb on chairs with a bucket for 5 of my tanks, so I have thunder thighs now lol

Yes you need the python it will change your life for the better. But you can make your own for way less $$. That's what I did I don't use the thing that hooks up to the sink I just bought an adapter for the sink so I hook the hose right to it. Drain the water in the tub.
