This pump works great for my 20 gallon tank, I’m able to do water changes in about half the time it normally takes me. I did seem to get a faulty pump first, as it stopped working after 2 months of using it once a week. I contacted the seller and they assisted me right away and sent me a new one. I received the new pump within 2 days of contacting and showing them that the pump did not work. This will be a game changer for my 65 gallon tank when I set it up and I highly recommend it!

The idea is that it will pump the water and you can clean the gravel as it does so. Two things happen:1. suction filer and other filter don’t do a great job of filter minute particles, so if you pumping the water back into the tank, it becomes cloudy.2. Filter becomes clogged quickly and loose functionalityHowever if you remove the filter and then pump the water out as you are cleaning the gravel this works great. I then just clean the pumped water with coffee filter or just replace it with fresh water.

Awesome Product
I LOVE IT! No more pumping a manual tank vacuum and still not actually cleaning the tank. The product cleans a ten gallon tank in under two minutes, has powerful suction, and removes almost all of the debris from the water, unlike a manual that leaves the debris floating in the water. It can empty a ten gallon tank in approximately three minutes.

This works great, better than I expected and it has so many useful attachments makes cleaning and changing the water in my 45g tank much easier. It has great suction power cleans the rocks good. The only downside is the clean up it seems to really trap the little bit of derbies in the foam and the plastic screen.

Used 3 times so far, got blocked twice. Had to disassemble the pump piece by piece. But I could not find what caused the pump fail to spin. Reassembled the pieces and it worked again. The build quality is poor and flimsy with thin plastics. Cannot compare with the quality Eheim, fluval, SICCE etc. Noise level is good.The pump is also bulky, not suitable for 20 gallon tanks and less. When in use, you have to pay much attention not let it suck some dirt or plants debris otherwise it easily fails.Overall, the pump is weak, it can not suck water of the tank on the ground to the height of kitchen sink. It also uses 110v directly, unlike some others using 12 v or 24 v DC. Not recommend it at all.

So great for little tanks!
I love that this is a gravel vac that only needs a few inches of water so I can get ALL the gunk from my nano tanks. The MAJOR flaw for me is not having a shut off on the handle. Not only that, but the switch is waaay back on the cord. Its not great. It hasn’t happened yet, but it’s a matter of time before the very strong suction grabs a plant, or a baby fish and there will be nothing I can do to stop it. It does come with at least one really helpful guard, but baby skrimps and baby Nanos will go right through. Still, 5 stars for being a lifesaver and saving me a lot of work!

Great product.
I use this for filling my tank. Fast and easy. Being able to clean sand without removing water is a game changing cash saver.

Works, but not for large scale clean up
It can be a bit challenging to get the unit to begin suction. You have to sort of finesse the angle of your dispensing tube in conjunction with your sink to get the suction activated. Once it is pumping however, it works somewhat well for sand/gravel cleaning. The motor is significantly less powerful than i anticipated and does not do well in suctioning larger debris such as decomposing vegetation. If youâre trying to get deep into thick substrate, it struggles a bit as well maintaining suction power. The kit itself comes with a nice multitude of attachments which allow access to hard to reach places/the ability to clean varying types of granular substrates which is something unique to other models Iâve owned. The handle comes with extensions, which allows you to customize the length of it if you have a deeper tank. The cord is relatively short, so you will need an open outlet that is close – within 4 feet of the tank itself, or an extension cord. The largest perk of this style cleaner is itâs environmental impact. Sure you use a little electricity, but when comparing its use to conventional sink/vacuum style gravel cleaners, you save a considerable amount of water by having an electric pump. Overall, I would consider this a decent product for the price, but feel it is underpowered for those with larger grain substrates/heavily planted tanks.
