Have to vouch for Python too.  I have multiple tanks, and buckets get 
very heavy and time consuming.  They are great.  I run it into my 
utility sink in the basement because if you are cleaning gravel it can 
get dirty.  I bought the 50 foot version, a little expensive, but well 
well worth it.  Couple of caveats: 1) if you are using water to  make 
the syphon for draining, it wastes water, and 2) it make a powerful 
syphon.  A tiger barb swam into it the first time I used it and got 
sucked way down the tube, then I reversed the flow and the pressure 
built up ejected the poor barb into my wall and killed him. Be very 
careful with small fish swimming into it.  Other than that, its an 
awesome too, especially if have a large or muliple tanks.
