The title now has a whole comedy element that I'm pretty sure was never intended.
No worries. It is entertaining!! Lol
Got a link for the pump you use to shoot the new SW back into the tank?You turn the sink nozzle to pull out your water down to your water change line marked on your reef. Then I pull the tube out of my tank and hold it in my sink. Turn the nozzle to push fresh tap water to flush out the salt water from the python. Then I turn the nozzle back to pull out the fresh water and hang my python back in the closest until mt next weekly water change. Then I pump the newly mixed salt water in my tank.
The benefit of the python is it lets you clean out the detritus from your sand bed while doing a water change. Your fish will get use to it and go about their business.
If you have it turned to pull your water out it uses your sinks water pressure to only pull and remove your water.
If you decide to go this route then get the "Python" brand, the others are cheap knock off's that won't pull as much water and their tubing is a lot thinner leading to hose kinks and their nozzles look good but made really cheap so you have to keep buying their replacement parts.
Take your pick.Got a link for the pump you use to shoot the new SW back into the tank?
That's a cool little pump. Most reviews say it's a little weak for their liking. Would you happen to know the inner diameter of the phython hose? Then I can search for something stronger or get an adapter to fit my eheim 2000 I use to mix SW. It's a 500 gph or so pump.@john.m.cole3
Check this one out. I've never seen it before.
lol, Read the first review.

I'm not seeing the diameter. I let you know when I get home tonight.That's a cool little pump. Most reviews say it's a little weak for their liking.
