Fluval Pro Vac Fish Aquarium Maintenance Kit

I thought I would try the electric vacuum. It works ok. The larger debris don’t get trapped into the filter so when you turn it off the material just goes back into the tank. A manual vacuum actually works better and is easier to control and clean the tank.

Having multiple fish tanks, sometimes tank cleaning can be a chore. The Fluval ProVac appears to be designed with this problem in mind as it makes cleaning day so much easier! The ProVac is a powered aquarium gravel cleaner that uses a filter to remove waste particles from the bottom of the aquarium. When using it for the first time I was amazed to see how quickly and efficiently it sucked and locked away debris. The LED light was helpful in visuilizing the back areas of the tank. The ProVac also has a "gravel guard" that prevents gravel from being sucked up into the device. I particularly liked how it came with an optional nozzle extender since my gravel is relatively deep. I had no problem siphoning up waste with both medium sized gravel and larger pebbles. One thing I took note of was that the device would be best for medium and larger tanks. The product reccomends a tank depth of at least 10", however i believe a depth of 12"+ would work best. Overall, the Fluval ProVac proved to be a tremendous help with maintaining clean aquarium water.

What I liked about the provac is it’s good for both salt water or freshwater , an the LED light on it to see better in the dark areas like the corners. The suction of the provac is really great, the cartridge for the filter is easy to open, to replace the filters. This product makes cleaning out the fish take easier, not to mention it’s good if they are a little deeper for extending. The product is made well, considering it’s plastic, also engineered well as far as the suctioning There is also a 2 year warrenty on this product, which is good considering how many times we clean the tank.
