I changed the water in all my aquariums yesterday and used the Python NO SPILL which made it a breeze. The Python NO SPILL is a 25 foot hose with an adapter at one end that attaches to your sink faucet. The adapter allows you to add and drain water from your aquarium with no spills or any heavy lifting. If you have a 30 gallon tank or bigger then I would definitely recommend getting one of these. But if your aquarium is smaller then 30 gallons I would stick with the hose and bucket system. The reason it’s not worth it for smaller aquariums is that it will take you longer to hook it up then to change your water.

I would also recommend that if you have any type of external canister filter, do a weekly check of your hoses to make sure they are not pinched. Yesterday while cleaning my water in my turtle tank I spotted that both my inlet and outlet hoses were pinched and the filter was only working at 20% efficiency. This would makes sense why my water in my turtle tank was not the cleanest the last few weeks.
