Ugh!! My fish has septicemia and I need to do several water exchanges and I'm tired of lugging buckets of water back and forth (My tank is 37 gallons--not HUGE but those buckets of water are heavy!). They suggested the Python kit at Petsmart. Is it a decent system?

If you have one or have used one, please let me know how you like (or don't) like it.

Thanks again for all the help!!

Oh, I love mine! It is a great help when you have either way too many tanks (like me) or having to do frequent water changes (like you... ).

At first I had to connect it to a faucet and then turn the faucet on to get the suction effect, but lately I just have the other end of the python out the door, which of course you can't do if you live in an apartment.

In any case, I wouldn't do without!

Haven't heard anyone say they didn't like their python. I got one not too long ago and I really love it. It really speeds water changes up.

Here's another thread singing the praises of the python.

Thank you both for the info. I did notice the online price is much less. I think I'll take the advice on the link to print off the web page and see if my local store will match the price.

I'm ALMOST excited to do the water exchange now--almost.
