TOM Aquarium Maintenance Gravel Siphon, Nozzle 24-Inch by 1-Inch Hose 5-Feet Length

Having owned several maintenance siphons and/or other cleaning aparatuses this is the one I keep coming back to as it works the best w/minimal fuss and trouble. Just be sure to get a larger size than you think as it will work better.

Poor quality the hand pumps is the problem after a few uses it starts to go bad and breaks down

The one I purchase went totally bad after a month; I still use the rest of the vac. for many of my holding tanks

Would not purchase again

It failed after a few months. The flexible handle that you start the siphon with loses it's vacuum after several uses. I would recommend something else.

Received this today and the piece that goes into the gravel is broke....only half of it was even in the box.....had to have been shipped this way. Otherwise, everything else looks good. Contacted TOM aquarium about sending me the replacement part because I really did not want to send the whole thing back to Amazon if they could just send me the part I needed. They are sending one out to me. :) Hopefully it will not be broken. We shall see.

The bottom piece was broken, just like the others have said. The rest of it seems to be made well, except that once piece is made of that easily crackable plastic. Even if it came in once piece, I don't think it would last long. I don't think you could use this without that piece either as the uptake tube is very skinny, maybe one inch round. On a positive notice, this thing is very large. Would clean a tall tank well with lots of reach.
