Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Python 25ft No Spill Clean & Fill Item #2514 25NSCustomer Review: I wish I had more tanks to clean! Summary: 5 Stars
I've had my 16-Gallon biOrb Mega (it has a pretty small opening) for 7 weeks now and have attempted to change water 3 times before today:
#1 - could not figure out exactly how the biOrb Cleaner Pump worked so I manually pumped out 5 gallons of water (in increments of 1-gallon milk jugs), followed by manually filling it back in 1-gallon increments (different clean glass jug)...as expected, I had some minor spillage, borderline hand cramping, and alot of wasted time walking back and forth from the tank to my kitchen sink.
#2 - started to do the same again but began pumping faster after the first 2 gallons because I was getting impatient...well what do you know, that created a siphon effect! definitely saved time compared to my first try but again manually refilled the tank.
#3 - got a strong start and instantly started the siphoning this time. unfortunately, I created a much stronger vacuum this time and the 1-gallon jug filled up too fast for me to stop it in time...massive spillage! all around the tank, my jeans, nearby couch, carpet, etc. this third water change took the longest of all because of all the cleanup I had to do and convinced me to look for something better.
Today, my first use of THE Python No Spill Clean and Fill - this 25' device looks a little bit intimidating at first with all the different connectors and whatnot. after thoroughly reading the instructions twice, I got it set up quickly and was ready to go. I turned it on the 'Drain' setting and slowly lowered the Python into the tank. It didn't look like it was doing anything for a moment until I noticed pieces of fish poo getting sucked up into the gravel tube in a slow motion speed that was much like watching something get abducted into an alien spaceship. I must admit, there is almost nothing as rewarding as watching huge pieces of fish poop (some about half the size of my little guppies themselves, looking like dark grey dryer lint) get extracted out of a small tank. I had to make myself stop before I got rid of too much water but I'm already looking forward to the next water change! ..I even felt a little jealous when I read about other reviewers and their huge 55 gallon tanks.
