I fill a 5 gallon home depot bucket with water at desired temp and pump it into the the tank with a smartpond pump via tubing clamped into the tank. I adjust the flow so that its pumping at the same rate the faucet is filling it and treat it while its in the bucket. My faucets can't handle a python but this is the same thing and the pump and tubing were pretty cheap.
Dechlorinator after or before pouring water? What do you do?
