Aqueon Medium Siphon Vacuum Aquarium Gravel Cleaner

Easy to start the flow and strong suction so strong that my gravel gets sucked into the bucket. In an effort to save my rocks and slow down the water transfer, I usually dip the suction tip into the gravel to start cleaning, then lift. As soon as the goop starts going into the tube, I place my finger over the outlet of the tube to stop the flow, then dip the suction tip back into the gravel for another run. Using this method, I've been able to clean more gravel during a single water change.

I bought this gravel vacuum to clean my 2.5gal betta tank. The only complaint I have is that this drains the tank extremely fast for being a mini vacuum. The suction is very strong as well, and I usually have to drain the tank into a bucket and fish out my gravel before dumping out the water.

I purchased this vacuum to help clean the bottom of a 45 gallon fresh water tank. I was leary at first since it was the first siphon vacuum I'd purchased, but was very pleased with the results immediately!

I place a 5 gallon bucket on the floor, place the end of the hose into the bucket and secure it with the clip provided. I then place the vacuum in the tank, shake it up and down quickly to start the suction, and then take it to the bottom of the tank. It takes me about 10 minutes from start to finish! If you work quickly, it takes out approximately 25% of the water in the tank. Perfect solution for a clean tank and a water change!

You must work quickly once the vacuum starts or you could easily end up removing more water, but makes cleaning and water changes quick and easy!

I have a 20 gallon fish tank. Cleaning the tank and changing the water took too much time before I used the 9-inch Aqueon Siphon. Learning the rhythm to get the siphon vacuum suction started can seem difficult at first. However, it is easy to start when the vacuum is completely submerged in the water and the end of the hose is a significant distance below your tank. Worked best for me when my bucket and end of the hose were at least three feet below the siphon within the fish tank. The hose is 6-feet long.

I thought this might have been too small for my tank at first but I used it once already and absolutely LOVE IT! I have a 50 gallon tank with sand and this little siphon really sucked up all the crud. I have a tank full of mystery snails and livebearers and didn't have any issues with it sucking up fry. It is easy to use and works wonderful. Highly recommend!
