96 x 30 x 24 Tank and Arowana Species

[Nilsafeller]

Do you have a link to the pump and all I would need to get it up and running?

Just search Amazon... "aquarium pump"..."pond pump"... look for one atleast 1000+ Gph.. all depends on where to and from you are pumping water and distance... my 800 gph pump drains about 60 gallons in 10 minutes... but hasto travel 30 feet and a slight incline to bathtub... you'll want a high gph for a bigger tank so u dint spend an hour draining the tank lol.
Most places like home depot for example will sell flexible tubing $ per linear foot

I drain to bathtub.. then fill bathtub and move pump from tank to bathtub and plug er in there... now pu.p from bathtub to tank

Fill bathtub then use pump?

How would that be faster compared with connecting the tube directly from bathub tap to fish tank??? Sounds like double work

Couldn't that potentially add "dirty" water to the tank?

Sure... if you also buy the python... go for it...

Why?

You don’t need to buy a python to fill from a tap. DIY plumbing parts, and potable water tubing, same as shown above. Filling from a bathtub has the potential of introducing surfactants, cleaning residuals, etc. Unless one never uses it for bathing/showering. This is actually the first time I have ever heard of someone filling their tank via water from a filled bath tub.

Always have... always spray out the tub from the tank water I'm draining and filled the tub.. never had a problem... my Jack's been with me 3 years with that water change method and seems healthy as can be... I also dont have sink or bath tap that has threads... sure can be changed out no problem if I throw some money on a new faucet... I know there are adaptors too but have heard they break easily and are a pain in the ass to put on
