Hello everyone I noticed a lot of air coming through my python during my water change I am on my own well I have the water on low And the hose is well above water level as I fill PH is 7.6 in the tank and 7.6 on the water going back in the tank. I fill directly from my my tap. I notice on large water changes 50 to 60% Fish do not stress during water change but for a day or two after they seem slightly stressed. This air is a continuous problem.any thoughts? My tank is a 150 gallon high with 15 adults . Fishes colors and appetite are good 1 inch of a gravel and some pieces of driftwood

Sometimes where the hose connects to the vacuum part can leak,you can seal it with some silicone.Do you get air all the time,or when the water gets to a certain level?Make sure to tighten the other connections also.
