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.

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.

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.

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
