Okay, thank you. I was trying to avoid $50 for it.

I have a bucket that I can lift with water that holds I guess 3 gallons because it took just over 3 buckets to fill up a 10 gallon tank yesterday. I guess that would be close to 40 to 50 buckets of water to refill the 125 tank? I'll have to go get a python this week.

it came with the attachments. you can honestly do it cheaper if you buy everything separate, and not at fish stores you can find it all at the hardware store.

I got a python at Walmarts a year ago for about $25 and I must say, it has paid for itself a million times over! I have 3 tanks in my living room and the hose reaches the sink to the tanks. Of course I live in a small apartment. But the hose is about 25 feet. I use it to both vacuum and fill. I run the water in a glass until the temp is the same (I use a floating thermometer), add the Declor stuff while I am filling, under the spray. I hold my hand over the spray when I refill to keep the water from disturbing everything. Having this makes a 20% water change once a week a breeze!

I finally bought one from Wal-Mart about a month ago. It is totally awesome, no more buckets and use it to vacuum and refill the tank as well. It works good spraying some of the slime off the inside glass too.
