    Help! Need an easier way to do WC's

    What I have been doing with my Python is I have the water bed adapter in my sewage drain (make sure you have the bottom drain connector open) and I suck on the end that goes to the sink. Doesn't take much to get the water flowing. That way I don't have my mouth on something that had fish water...

    Nitrite spike established tank

    I will have to check the tap tonight. I tested it awhile ago and had no issues but I know things change. When I did a large wc last night it lowered my nitrite so I assume tap is fine. The newest update is my nitrite was back to zero this morning. I was going to skip a feeding but decided to...

    Nitrite spike established tank

    Adding Plants to New Tank

    It is a water pressure issue I think. When I hook it to a sink it is in a sink in my basement and my tank is on the first floor. I have about 50 psi at my sink not sure what others have. I am sure the 50 foot line doesn't help much. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Adding Plants to New Tank

    I have noticed poor suction on my Python as well. I have stopped using the sink to create a suction and have the line running into my sewage sump in the basement and create the flow with a bulb and find I get much better suction then when hooked to a sink. I still hook it up to the sink to fill...
