hi, i bought a python a while go for my 29 gallon tank I had at the time. I set it all up, and got all ready to use it. I live in the basement of my house, so I had to attach a section of garden hose to the python (mine is 25 feet) to get it up the stairs. Well, to make a long story short, it worked for the first couple times. Then, it stopped working. I would turn on the valve and there would be no suction whatsoever. Frustrated, I tossed it in my closet and went back to a normal siphon. Now, my 55 gallon tank is just about done with its cycle, which means water change time. I would like to use the python if possible. My only theory is that it doesn't have enough lift to get it up the stairs. Has anyone else had this problem?
