The world's greatest husband (that's mine by the way) is a contractor. He's building my fish room and in the lay-out there is a cupboard that blends in well with the wall design (so it's non-obtrusive). Inside the cupboard will be a large utility tub (heavy plastic not metal) where I will ready the fresh water for the changes... just use the python to drain away the old, fill up the utility tub with fresh water, treat and pump into the tanks. He didn't want me to have to haul buckets anymore -- I haul enough of them for the 44. He's also putting a few shelves above the utility tub so that when the cupboard door is closed, all of my "fish equipment and supplies" is out of sight.
