there are little floor mats with absorbant micro fiber stuff on the top and plastic on the bottom. I have one of those, as well i use the good ole bucket system. Its not to bad, though i have never tried one of those python things.
I do however have an ehiem gravle vac pro thing that I use aswell that supposedly keeps the need for water changes down.....I have alot of fish in my 55 so i still change the water twice a week. The vac keeps the gravel nice and clean, its fully submersable, batterie opperated, and no hoses or buckets means little to no spilling.
2, four gallon buckets for syphoning and one 5 gallon bucket for filling. can empty one 4 gal as the other is being filled. it can get messy but its not so bad. I have one 60gal upstairs and one downstairs both in livingroom type areas.
WATER CHANGES!!!!!

python systems are the way to go. well worth the money, once you get one you'll never want to go back to lugging buckets again.
