re: Using Pythons in planted tanks

["Jim Miller" <jim at jtmiller_com>]

Water velocity will be a function of inlet and outlet height differential
and inlet diameter. If you've got a shower stall nearby try filling the
python then putting the outlet down at the shower floor to obtain more
height differential. You could also try narrowing the inlet with an adapter
to increase velocity with the risk of sucking up fish, etc.

good luck

Anyone have any suggestions on how to use these properly?  Do they just use
LOTS of water to get any decent suction?
