Question about pythons

[thekarens]

Obviously when I do a water change I either add a water purifier or I let it sit for at least 24 hours.  If you use a python how do you keep from putting chlorine into your tank?

I turn the python so its putting water back into the tank and then put the AmQuel in as it is filling. I haven't had any problems doing it this way.

I add enough decholorinator to treat the water being replaced before I begin adding the fresh water.

I add amquel/novaaqua before refilling.

I also add dechlorinator before adding fresh water. I also make sure that I point the Python AWAY from any filter intakes. A couple of years ago I learned the hard way how easy it is to wreck the cycle of a seasoned aquarium.

I use a 55g drum to age & test the water

then I use a 1/4 hp submersable pump with a hose adapter to transfer the water from tank to drain and from drum into the tank.
