Too bad you didn't get a Python. Shoot, I'd have given you mine for shipping.
Aqueon is cheap and flimsy compared to Python. Yeah, it'll work but if you ever get your hands on a Python you'll find the hose is much better and won't be kinking. The cutoff valves work easier and better and you can get gravel tubes of different length.
When I recently ramped back up on the fish keeping, adding more tanks, I thought I'd get a new Python rather than use my 20yo original. The hose wouldn't completely clean. Pythons weren't carried in PETCO or PetSmart anymore so I got the Aqueon. Yuck! I found Python online, ordered a new one, cut some hose off and added to my old one which makes it long enough to go to the basement and I use it for draining tanks.
If you get tired of the kinking, flimsy hose and cheap components, go online and get a Python. It's more expensive but like I said, my original is 20 years old now.
