[APD] Re: Python Flow Rate

[Matt Staroscik <matt at wrongcrowd_com>]

I don't use a Python, but I do have a $12 ViaAqua pump that lets me do 50 
gal water changes (in my 90 gal tank) in, I dunno, 5 minutes? That's the 
time to pump OUT -- putting water back in I have a line from my kitchen tap 
that is much slower, so I am probably at 45 minutes total.

(I did have to spend another $10 on some tubing of the correct diameter to 
mate to the pump's output.)

Perhaps you can find this brand on your side of the pond. It's working 
great for me and the price is right. I just reach in the tank, stick the 
pump to the side, run the hose outside and let 'er rip.

Good luck,
Matt
