Python, Aqueon, Lee water changers UK
Hi all
Does anyone in the UK know where on the web I can buy a Python, Aqueon or Lee water changer that doesn't charge ridiculous shipping fees? I am disabled so using this device would mean I can do water changes myself without having to rope in my poor long suffering partner. Used to be horses, now its fish! Poor guy.

The jbl in and out is available to order at any Maidenhead aquatics or jbl stockist, it's the same thing
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Without the Python, I would be out of the tank business. I am both physically and visually handicapped.

The jbl in and out comes in several lengths, how far is the closest sink to your tank? They make waterchanges so easy. I would do 40% a day if I was allowed

I hate confetti tanks! I'd rather have a snow globe myself.

Re: Python, Aqueon, Lee water changers UK
If you have a decent hardware store nearby, you can make a DIY water changer very easily.
My husband (NOT a handy man!) put one together for me at half the price of a Python, and it works great.

Re: Python, Aqueon, Lee water changers UK
I have sourced an Aqueon and its winging its to me from usa. My partner did look at diy version but we wanted the connectors etc. I got it from discountedpetproducts.net
I looked at the JBL one but it is only 25 feet, with a 25 feet extension. I need about 40 feet. By the time I paid for the JBL one with extension, it was close to the cost of the Aqueon, sent from usa, which is 50 feet so no extension needed. It also has a switch which the JBL one doesn't.
Anyway, thanks for the help
