This gravel vacuum is pretty great. I have various tank sizes, so I appreciate that I can add or remove length as needed. The suction really worked to clean the grimy gravel, the light is very helpful and it is quite quiet so it didn’t scare my fish. Makes in between cleaning so much easier!

Bought this tank cleaner to replace a flimsy one the hose kept kinking on. It is great for small tanks. The hose clip for a bucket keeps water from getting on the floor.

Broken after first use

A small piece broke off the first time I used it and I am unable to fit my hand inside the intake tube in order to glue it back on.

This works great

The siphon is easy to get started and it does a great job cleaning the gravel.

I did a lot of research before purchasing this for my 3 gallon tank. It was very hard to get it to start siphoning and once it did start to siphon the suction was so minimal it did not clean my tank. I followed their instruction for getting it started and that didn't work. I started it the same way you start the larger vacuums in the same brand and that worked. The suction was so weak, that when I finished my water looked worse than before I "cleaned" it. Do not buy this product.

I know how siphons are supposed to work, and we did everything right but this thing does not physically work. No vacuum is created. We had to end up filling the tube and turning it upside down, but that was so slow so in the end we ended up using buckets anyway. Don’t waste your money.

No suction

Perhaps I got the wrong size for our beta tank, but I was not able to get this vacuum to do anything.

Too wide for small tanks

The head of the vacuum is too wide and the hose unmanageable
