It's effective for me, thumbs up.

I've been using the Python for my bigger tanks - 20 and 55 gallons. The gravel vac works great. I do use the water fill feature but only during the warmer months since the water from the outside connection is too cold the rest of the year. I don't have an inside tap that the Python can connect to, so I'm stuck carrying buckets - which is good exercise, but it's a lot of time and usually ends up with water all over the floor.

@connorlinderman I'm a bit lost with your answer - could you clarify?

Just used my new python for the first time and I'm really pleased with the results. Thanks to everyone on TFF for the positive feedback - it definitely influenced my decision to buy. One minor issue I encountered is the distance between my tank and the nearest faucet, which is 28 feet. Unfortunately, that meant I had to spring for the 50-foot model, as the 25-foot one wouldn't have been long enough.

I actually got a 50 ft one by mistake when I ordered the 25 ft version from Amazon.
