5 in1 Aquarium Gravel Cleaner Water Changer Glass Scraper Fish Tank Sand Wash Pump Kit with Air-Pressing Button and Adjustable Water Flow Controller Clamp for Fish Tank Gravel-Cleaning

To start off, I just want to state that until using this product I have only ever used the generic suck on the end to get it started kind of fish siphon. That being said, the push pump start was a mind blowing invention to me. It only took about 10 quick pumps of the button and I had water flowing through the tubes which was both faster than normal as well as well as I didn't feel the need to go brush my teeth after. Something that I was initially worried about with this product was the tubing. Again, the only siphons I have ever used are the hard vinyl tubing, this tubing is more rubbery and flexible. Something great that I realized a couple minutes into using this product though is that because the tubing is super flexible, I can easily just pinch the tubing to stop the flow of water rather than having to be halfway hunched over with my finger on the end of the tube the whole time. Another aspect of this siphon that I have never experienced is a filter before the intake. Personally, I only use real rocks in my tank, however, I can see that anyone using the plastic colorful rocks would love this feature as you will never again have to worry about sucking up rocks. Worst case they will just hit the filter and flow back down to the tank! The last features I want to get to with this product are the attachments. Unfortunately, I have shrimp in all of my tanks so I was unable to test out how well the algae scraper works, but I will say that it is a sturdy, flat design that I would trust to put equal pressure on the tank glass without worrying. The other attachment is a reducer that I found extremely helpful while I was cleaning the tanks that have shrimp fry in them. My Neocaridina only tank hasn't been siphoned in months due to being scared of sucking up baby shrimp, however, with the reducer it makes the bottom of the siphon smaller than the tip of my pinky. Between the tiny siphon end and the pinch off to stop flow tubing, I was able to comfortably clean my Neocaridina tank without sucking up any little tiny baby shrimp. Overall 11/10 product and I have already personally recommended this product to my fish tank buddies who I talk to often.

I loved this device. My son has a 40 and 10 gallon aquariums and this helps immensely with the weekly cleanings. It does have a minor issue that will have you running for towels to clean up a major mess. The hose isn’t securely fastened to the handle so sometimes comes off, spilling all the water in the house everywhere. Hope you do t have your aquarium in a carpeted room 😳Not sure why, I ordered another of these to replace the previous one. The hose had turned black. received it and it leaked everywhere, sent it back and replacement leaked even more.Do yourself a favor and don't try to save money by buying this. If you buy two, you could actually buy an electrical cleaner for that price.

This 4 in one gravel vacuum works like a charm. Very pleased with its performance.To assemble the product, take the appropriate clear rigid tube piece out of the box and press It into the black piece that has the screen in it. Then directly above that tube, on the top of the black piece, press in the squeeze bulb. In the final opening, on the side of the black piece press in the flexible tubing. In this configuration it works great for vacuuming the gravel. Just place the flexible tube in a bucket, submerge the rigid clear tube into the aquarium, give the squeeze bulb enough squeezes to get water flowing out of the flexible tube in the bucket and begin skimming the top of the gravel/sand or press the end of the rigid clear tube into the gravel and lift up slightly above the layer of gravel to clean below the surface.This vacuum does come with an algae scraper attachment, but I personally haven’t had to use that yet since my bristle nose pleco has been doing a great job of keeping my aquarium very clear of algae growth.This gravel vacuum is a nice alternative to the much more expensive gravel vacuum systems that attach to a faucet (if you pay by the gallon for your water service, you’ll understand why this is a nice alternative to those other vacuum systems).

The attachment for scraping the glass was not even therefore it’s useless doesn’t scrape off the glass algae well, it’s such a hassle to get the water to start going through the tube but when it eventually does it does its job well.

I needed a good gravel cleaner to vacuum up multiple layers of detritus. This one was very effective, but one must plan on also doing a major water change, as unlike other vacuums where the detritus is deposited into a bag, this one simply sucks it up by force of gravity, taking large amounts of water with it and deposits into a bucket (not provided). This was a 75 gallon tank I cleaned, and I estimate I had to replace 10-15 gallons before the cleaning was complete.

This thing is cool. It works great. It comes with a glass scraper attatchment that let's you use the suction tool at the same time. Its really helpful when vaccuming sand bottom tanks. The suction primes easily with your thumb and the line is silicone so the water flows easily through it. It comes with a bucket attachment for the hose to keep it pouring in the bucket. It also comes with a flow clamp so if its sucking out to much water you can slow down the flow rate. I actually tied a mesh media bag to the end of the hose and put it back in the tank I was cleaning. This way as its sucking stuff up the bag catches the debris but the water stays in the tank. You can use it for shallow or deep tanks since it has a center piece that let's you remove a length of tube depending on your depth needed. With over 20 plus tanks from 10g to 75g anythingbto make it easier is a bonus for me. I wish I would jave ordered this thing earlier. No more a plastic vaccum end on some hose filling a bucket or going down the sink. If you want it to make your tank cleaning easier order this thing for sure.
