Python Pro-Clean Gravel Washer and Siphon Kit for Aquarium, Large

I recently bought the large(16") Python gravel siphon cleaner after trying 2 others(Marineland and Petsmart). I use it with the Python siphon starter bulb(I never tried it without it). It is very easy to start(just make sure you get all of the water out of the tube). The hose is higher quality-it is much more flexible than the others making it easier to work with. The extra height(16") is good as it takes much longer for the gravel to swirl up to the top of the tube. I highly recommend this one over any other.

This effectively cleans the gravel (not just siphons water) to the point where our fish are noticeably healthier and the tank stays crystal clear much longer.

Moves a lot of water and very quickly. Great clean up tool for a larger tank. Can't beat the price either.

This was purchased for my 55 gallon tank. Two plecos and an oscar make a big mess, and a small gravel washer couldn't do the job. The large-size Python does an excellent job cleaning the gravel. One drawback is that the suction is so powerful, a large bucket gets filled up in no time. Not wanting to change out too much water in one session (don't want to shock the fish), it is going to take me two or three water changes before I can clean all of the gravel in this tank. I'm planning on doing a change every three or four days until the work is done. Next time I will try to kink the hose to slow the flow a little. Hopefully this will allow me to cover more gravel before the bucket fills up.

One positive feature of the Python is that the hose is very thick, and doesn't kink. Some Aqueon products have cheaper hoses and come out of the package with the hoses kinked.

If you are near a sink, I can highly recommend the Python version that attaches to the faucet. I had one of those for many years and it made water changes a pleasure. I would give that version 5 stars.
