AQUANEAT Aquarium Vacuum Siphon, Fish Tank Water Changer, Gravel Cleaner, Hand Pump

This vacuum siphon works very well. It is easy to use, and it is perfect for cleaning Beta tanks for small fresh water aquariums.

Love this siphon! I have tried quite a few types of water siphons for my tanks and am happy to say I have found the one that works for me.This siphon works easily and simply. All you do is squeeze the bulb and water will almost effortless move from tank to bucket. With that said, there are a few things you have to take into consideration.First: The outflow end of the siphon tube is short so you will need a clip in order to keep that part of the hose from spilling out of your bucket. Trust me, a visit to the dollar store will come in very handy.Second: There is no true pre-filter to the intake end. The intake end is quite large so if you have fry or nano fish, in order to protect them from being sucked up and out, get a pair of knee high pantyhose and tie one to the intake end with a rubber band. Again, trust me - don't risk your aqua buddies being lost. It doesn't have to be pantyhose, but you get the idea. You will need some sort of fine mesh that you can wrap around the nose of the siphon.Overall, the price of under $10 and how easily it works and is amendable. You really can't go wrong with this siphon.Finally, this is easy to take apart for cleaning. Buy a few just for backup and you can even find other colored bulbs, like red or green out there too.Third:S

It’s alright. I got this thinking it was smoother than the aqueon siphon, but it’s the same. I didn’t return it since it works. It’s just not what I was looking for since I already have a siphon that does the same. I only bought it because @ nanoscape uses it. I found out a turkey baster is far easier for planted vases or shrimp bowls

Works good for water changing my 5 gallon fry tank.I’ve only been using it a few weeks, but so far so good.Under $8, seems like a fair price.I just bought another one as a back up.

I tried to use the suction device and it could not even suck enough water into the main ube and bulb to start a siphoning action.The suction is so weak that it cannot even start the water to flow so I had to fill the tube by completely submersing it to get all the air out of the tube. In the process of filling it with water, the flimsy plastic end port end broke off and cracked the plastic on the very end. Not only that, the flimsy little gasket that is supposed to create a vacuum when the bulb is squeezed does not stay in place, making impossible to create a workable suction. SO the tube is not worth the trouble because it has to be completely submerged to force all the air out (which squeezing the bulb is supposed to do). - Far too much trouble for a simple aquarium gravel cleaner!Really a waste of money for an aquarium or any other SIMPLE siphoning job.

It's cheaply make and the pump is pretty weak. It doesn't take out the fish wastes next to it.

It works great. Helps to do a in-between cleaning to get the poop out of the tank

Lightweight, easy to use and made cleaning the fish tank less of a hassle .
