Do you know if there is a water pump or a water vacuum that can make it much EASIER to get the water out of the tanks when it is time to clean??? I have 3 tanks...and it is so stressful to clean them. So, is there anything that can make it easier???? :roll:

Pythons are awesome! SOOOOO much easier to clean tanks with them.

I know, I don't think they've taken new pics since the 80's (maybe early 90's). I love the catalog that comes with it too... the Python undies and whatnot. Classy!

i wouldnt bother with a 10 gallon tank. it doesnt really take much to change that. you should save for a bigger tank and filter because you will need it very soon. after you get all that you should get a python. i have a 55gal and dont know how i would change water without it.

ya right now I'm using a cheap sewage pump that it takes about 10-15 min and about 2 and a half buckets of water to empty out.
