Will this suck up sand with the debris?

Answer by Chewy • Aug 09, 2019
TeraPump Aquarium Gravel & Sand BPA-Free Pump will not suck up the sand with the debris. While draining, simply lift and release the gravel and sand to clean your substrate.

is this too big to use on a 3 gallon tank?

Answer by Chewy • Jul 14, 2021
This pump has a transfer rate of 1.5 gallons per minute and is ideal for 10 to 20 gallon aquariums.

Will this suck up soft debris like sunken pellet food and fish waste from the bottom of a tank that has a bare floor (no gravel or sand)?

Lable said it cleaned sand

This product is a little weird, it doesn't work all that great. The hoses are backwards.

Don't waste your time. BARELY suctions and won't get up any of your food. If you have an hour to frain 1 gallon go ahead an purchase. If you have the strongest hands to pump all the water you want out of the tank since it won't take over and suction by itself.. go ahead and buy. Or save yourself the encredible trouble.

Gravel Cleaner

Not as easy to use as they make it look and I'm certain that there is more being done than just squeezing the bulb thing.

The first one I ordered was defective and didn't work. I was sent a replacement that works (sometimes) but it takes a lot of effort and countless pumps before the water starts siphoning itself out. Sometimes the flap inside the pump gets stuck incorrectly and the pump stops working. I usually just shake it until I get it to work. I used to try to use this for an hour then stop in frustration. I wouldn't recommend wasting time and energy on this product.

Works fine for larger tanks than 2.5 gallons

Easy to get the suction going, but overkill for a 2.5 gallon tank. The tank was half-emptied and I hadn't fully vacuumed the gravel. The flow volume control is

Easy to get the suction going, but overkill for a 2.5 gallon tank. The tank was half-emptied and I hadn't fully vacuumed the gravel. The flow volume control is a bit awkward to work properly, but that could just be operator error. Would suggest practicing with it a bit before sticking it into the tank. Think it would be great with a bigger tank

Works well and is great for getting debris off the bottom of the tank

I bought this for a yet unstocked tank. Friend was surprised by grandma getting fish for grandkids. So I decided to give it to her due to her being surprised and me having a as yet unneeded gravel vac. Unfortunately I went over yesterday to take it over and show her how to do a water change and after several squeezes of the ball, I barely got water coming in and water began hitting us through the holes!! So unfortunately a rarely found not good buy.

Very flimsy

The pump was flimsy. The part to clean gravel and the tubes were too short and too narrow. I was unable to use it on my 29 gallon tank.

This makes water changes quick and easy. Way better than removing water cup by cup.
