Well, I finally did it..
I ordered from www.bigalsonline.com and placed an order for my Python! [50ft version ].
Since it was so cheap, I also broke odwn and ordered a few pieces of driftwood to 
I'm hoping by next week I'll be one of the few, the proud, the python owners 
SO LONG BUCKET BRIGADE!!!!!!!!!!!

You won't be disappointed, William.
I love my python. If something happened to it, I would immediately order another.
In fact, I would rather drink dirty fishtank water than haul four five-gallon buckets to and from the bathtub across my new livingroom carpet!

Why was this moved to General Retailers?
It has nothing to do with any retailer, just the fact that I got my python ordered.

I am interested in how long it takes to get your python. From what I hear bigals might be low on price but can be slow on sending the order aswell.

I have ordered from Big Als, dozens of times. My orders have always arrived like clock work, 3 days after I placed the order. The only problem I ever had was UPS didn't deliver a package once. Well they said they did , but I was here. They didn't. It took a couple of weeks to get the claim straightened out. Big Al's was very helpful and courteous. And my order was replaced in full at no cost to me. My overall experience with Big Al's has been wonderful. I am thankful I found them. They have save me a lot of money over the years.

With my python I can clean all 16 of my tanks in under a hour. They work wonders.

I second everything angelstinger says. Nothing but good things to say about Big Als here.

lol..well..as a person with MTS...I can tell you that leaving the bucket brigade was the best. My python will always be considered one of the best labor savers ever invented.

My Python is one thing I will NEVER own an aquarium without!!! It's more than paid for itself...without it I don't think my 55 gal tank would ever get cleaned.

If you have ever seen the adaptors for waterbed hoses it is the same setup. There are also adaptors for all types of taps.

I use a garden hose splitter ($1.49) and a 50 length of drinking water rated hose ($16.99). it did not come with a gravel vacuum attachment but I am building one from a 16oz water bottle and a hose end fitting ($0.49)

Not to mention about 20 bucks worth of time and effort.
50foot pythons cheaper

William,
The post was probably moved due to your mention of ordering from Big Als...it kinda looked like you might offer an evaluation of their service. It happens sometimes.
On the other hand...all the evil advisors and admins could be plotting your destruction by moving all your posts around so you can't find them.
