Aqueon Siphon Vacuum with Priming Bulb Aquarium Gravel Cleaner, 10-in
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
With the Aqueon Siphon Vacuum with Priming Bulb Aquarium Gravel Cleaner, performing quick water changes is super easy. This useful siphon efficiently separates debris from gravel for convenient cleaning. A simple pump of the priming bulb quickly primes the hose to start water flow. Just the right amount of suction is applied to lift and agitate the gravel. Debris is effectively separated, pulled away with the flowing water and disposed of while the gravel falls back down to the aquarium floor. Changing the water and removing debris from gravel is part of necessary maintenance for a healthy and balanced aquarium.
Key Benefits- Includes a convenient priming bulb to help start water flow.
- Includes 6-foot flexible hose, hose clip, intake tube and priming bulb pump
- Helps maintain a natural balance in the aquarium environment.
- Efficiently cleans debris from gravel for a pristine habitat.
- Large enough for aquariums that range 15-55 gallons.
For Glass Aquariums Only. Do not us on acrylic, plexiglass, or any surface other than glass. Do not use on dry surfaces. Rinse pad with tap water before and after each use.

Hard to use
By RobnKit on Jul 23, 2020
This pump is very hard to use. The part that holds the tube that goes into the bucket doesn't fit and it keeps coming out of the bucket making a mess on the floor. It's also hard to pump the water to get a good flow started. I found it's better to just take out the water off the top and change and clean it that way.

It was damaged when I received it.
By Meemo on May 27, 2020
Doesn't suction at all. There is no plastic piece inside the tube to stop items from being sucked into the hose (like, idk, fish). worst of all is the bulb was cracked. Of course didn't realize it until I was already siphoning a large tank so I tried to tape it up but it didn't work. Dang thing leaked all over the floor before I noticed This is an item I'm going to need to go to a store and buy to make sure that it's not damaged. since I used it I don't think I can return it so I'll just take it apart and use the hose on it for another aquarium application.

Aquarium gravel cleaner
By Prettylongtail on Aug 1, 2020
Love the hose and cleaner tube good size is fast. But bulb to make it prime just didn’t work for me back to the old sucking on the tube holding finger over end to dump. Fills a five gal tub fast! Just wish the bulb worked.

Big but works!
By Painter on Aug 10, 2020
I recommend this for your larger tanks! They do have a smaller size as well. The siphon bulb is a game changer.

Cool item for cleaning
By lori on Apr 16, 2020
This is huge. I think i got too big for my tank. Im having trouble using it but likely its me. Seems very nice made I accidentally ordered two and i am giving one to a friend. I wondered why the price was more than i thought but then i received two and figured it out. Oh well. I have a good gift since i bought two!

This is super long and thick
By Petmom on May 2, 2020 Top 1000 Contributor
Good luck using this in your tank. Its almost impossible. These are great and help a lot of you get the right one. This one is just super big and hard to maneuver around a tank unless you have a fairly large one.

NOT what it used to be
By spends2much on Feb 25, 2020
Cannot recommend this. Truthfully zero stars. It failed to work mid-way through siphoning from my largest tank the VERY FIRST TIME I used it. I had the very same brand siphon for at least 8-10+ years. Recently the tubing was getting stiff and hard due to age. I saw this one and thought it was the same. It is not. It now comes with a pieced-together plastic bulb instead of the solid, one-piece rubber one that came with my old one... that had served me well for so long. No amount of tightening the connections worked.....it just wouldn't suction. I believe the poorly designed, pieced-together plastic bulb is the flaw. I do NOT recommend this model. Doesn't make sense that they changed it....why Cannot recommend this. Truthfully zero stars. It failed to work mid-way through siphoning from my largest tank the VERY FIRST TIME I used it.
