For the price itâs alright
The attachment for scraping the glass was not even therefore itâs useless doesnât scrape off the glass algae well, itâs such a hassle to get the water to start going through the tube but when it eventually does it does its job well.

Great product
I really like this product. I dropped it and lost the push button for the suction. Is there anywhere I can order that one little piece? Other than that this works really well when I change the water in my fish tank.

Not your typical Fish Siphon- See pictures
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.

Works good when it worked
First what I liked:Easy to put togetherExtendable so can be used in smaller and deeper tanksWife got a “free” Goldfish. “Free” is not “Free” when you take into account what all they need to be healthy. When we first got “fish” (yes she named him fish) he was small and happy in the 1.5 gallon tank. Uhh… he started growing pretty quickly. I researched and was shocked to find out how big they got and how long they can live if taken care of. We did not have the money for a tank size he needed but we got a 6.5 gallon set up. Got a small gravel cleaner from wally world. It worked well. Fish decided to keep growing. So I started getting stuff together for the eventual bigger tank. Hence this gravel cleaner kit. I used it twice in the 6.5 gallon tank and it worked fine. Got a 29h gallon tank and I started having problems with it loosing suction. YES, all pieces were tight including the extention I now had to use. After just two uses in the 29 gallon tank it refuses to pull up water. I know it is not expensive, but at that price it should last more than 2 and a half uses. Very frustrated and going to have to get another brand.

Complete waste of money. Barely any suction at all, isnât airtight so it leaks, and materials are cheap.I would strongly advise against purchase.

Makes tank cleaning faster and way more convenient.
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.

Minor issue that becomes major mess (updated)
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 isnât 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 ð³Not 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.

Best cheap vacuum
I haven’t had many siphons other than the store bought tubes and bulbs. I believe the suction power is adequate for the tank size I have but any bigger and its a long chore. Easy enough to use my 6 year old can help with water changes. Our fish like to play with it, so it’s not strong enough to hurt them during a change, but still get the job done in a timely manner. The tube fits into standard gallon jugs, so I have used it to put water back into the tank as well!Overall very happy with the product.
