How long (in feet) is the tube?

Answer by ChewyOct 24, 2019
The hose is 6 feet long.

What is the inner diameter of the hose. I'm am looking for a siphon tube and hose that I can connect to a small exterior canister filter to do gravel vacuuming in between water changes.

Answer by ChewyApr 11, 2019
The inside diameter of the mini and small hose is 1/4 of an inch and 1/2 of an inch for the medium, large, and extra large hose.

In order to add water to the tank, how long should I let tap water stand in order for the chlorine to evaporate?

Answer by ChewySep 27, 2018
Make sure water is flowing properly through your power filter. Adjust the heater to the proper temperature. It will take 24 hours for the temp to stabilize and you may have to adjust your setting. Wait 24 hours to ensure all equipment is working properly before adding fish.

Can I use this to refill my tank with new water too?

Good for smaller tanks

It does get clogged pretty easily. But it’s small enough for getting into the corners and hard to reach spots behind plants and hardscape. Another plus is that it

It does get clogged pretty easily. But it’s small enough for getting into the corners and hard to reach spots behind plants and hardscape. Another plus is that it doesn’t syphon as quickly so you have more time to clean before too much water has been removed.

Siphon sold separately doesn’t fit.

Without a siphon to start the flow, not usable. Years ago, I used my mouth, swallowed some water and became deathly sick.

Killed my fish

This product killed my fish. Yes, it’s my fault for not knowing that could happen but I’m devastated. The suction is strong and pulled him in.

Decent

Tubing is flexible and seals well, not as long as other similar products I have used.

Well built and simple

Works exactly as it’s supposed to. I use it on my 75 gal planted tank, it’s 22” deep and this is just the right length. This, a clamp and a 5 gal bucket make water
