Hi,
I was wondering how this python fill and no spill works, and how do you deal with the difference in temperature?
Also I have a 29 gallon tank. When I do a water change I store my water in a 10 gallon tank. If someone had a 90
gallon tank, how and where would you store 27 gallons of water for a 30% change? Just wondering.

I just go by the sence of touch. If the water comming from the python is too cold, i just turn it up a bit. smile.gif And I was wondering why you stored your water? I guess i dont see the point in it.

I just match the temps & pour it in. I add my declor right where the water pours in.

I just got a python for my 29 gallon tank. I love the thing, but the 25ft hose is about 20ft more than I needed. Oh well.

I dumped in a double dose of water conditioner (40gal treatment) and it seemed to work.

20 ft TOO much! Hush your mouth! There is NEVER TOO MUCH HOSE!! blink.gif rofl3.gif

You must have your tank right next to a sink! I got the 50ft one cause no matter what I'm doing and where I move my tanks I have plenty of room. Love the Python!!

I just got a Python too - using alistairw's brilliant DIY UK tap adaptor it works great! I got the 50ft one too and that means I can do the upstairs and downstairs tanks from the downstairs sink where the water pressure is better exactly.gif
