Okay, regarding drain and fills (like Python) being wasteful... First of all I have a well that never runs out, but even at that I don't drain using the Python-- forgot to mention this. Instead I have my tanks placed near enough to windows that I simply run an extra length of tubing out a window, start the siphon with a standard gravel cleaner, then connect the two, siphon as normal, and use the Python for filling.
No buckets! I'm 70, now, and if I had to use buckets for anything but smaller tanks I'd be rethinking things at this point...
