The Python hooks right up to your sink. You turn on the tap and you can either take water out of the tank or put it back in. No lugging water around in buckets. It gets a really nice strong suction too, which is adjustible. I can clean out four tanks by myself in half an hour with it.

wow, so how does it suction the water?...i dont understand how it does that?....also where can i pick one up from?.. How much do they usually cost?

I couldn't tell you the physics behind it, but the water running down the part that connects to the tap somehow creates a very strong suction through the tube.
They actually sell them at Walmart and most pet stores, I THINK the smaller one costs about 30$. I'm not sure because I've had mine for three years.
