my baby anaconda set up

Looks great....did you build this yourself? Hopefuly it won't be a pain to change the water when it needs it.

thanks, actually it was a 75 gallon complete set up i got from a friend. the only thing i did was add a 17x8 inch wall to seperate the land side from the water, and then i added all the decor. as far as water changes , i wont have to do it often because of the hidden under gravel filter and a huge canister filter...later, kimo

Looks great, but I hate to tell you that you'll probably still need to do water changes. Even with an aquarium running the same type of filter, regular partial water changes (roughly 20% per week) are necessary to avoid the fish waste toxins from building up. And I'd assume that your anaconda would produce a LOT more waste than fish would.

You can make water changes extremely easy on yourself by buying a water siphon/vacuum made for aquariums. You can get one here for about $23:

I wouldn't keep fish without mine. It's a great piece of equipment.
