25ft Aquarium Vacuum Gravel Cleaner Fish Tank Cleaner Siphon Water Changer

Excellent. I don’t have to haul a bunch of water in or out every single water change. I don’t have to take the turtle out, he’s perfectly fine and unbothered while I siphon the water out/in. I get to dump the water out on the ground or any plants I decide since the tube length covers the distance I need. I do love that installation is so EASY and straightforward, minimum effort. Cleaning the siphon is also easy as well. So all in all, this siphon was simple and very effective for me. I wholeheartedly recommend this to any of you wanting the same ease. I bought the 50ft siphon. I prefer to have more distance covered than I need, just in case. It’s worth the money already.

This product has a "professional" grade starter suction pump which is very large and seems very sturdy without the need of using plumbers tape as the fit is very snug. Make sure to put on the tank clip prior to installing the siphon hose onto the siphon because it is a very tight fit and you cannot pull off the hose without a tool wedge. The 50ft hose helps quite a bit and is extremely lengthy; however, this product is easily adjustable by simply unscrewing the hose adapter side, cutting the tube, and reinserting the adapter back in as when it screws on, it grips the hose a bit. so if you do not need 50ft, you can simply adjust it as I did because I only needed a 35ft hose - excellent design and consumer-friendly by the way. The only issue I have is that the siphon is smaller than I expected (about 9" - 10") and works fine to empty water from larger tanks without draining them but this is not for use in a 55-gallon+ tank because of the length, especially if you have marine predator fish. It also does not really allow me to clean the gravel from my 55-gallon tank but only allows me to drain it, which caused a drop in stars (I need to purchase from a third-party a proper 20" siphon vacuum head). All-in-all the product would be 5-stars for 45 gallon aquariums or under, unless you just want to drain a larger tank without going too low then this product is a proper purchase. The product ships in its own box within an Amazon box and the shipping box is pretty sturdy that allows zero rattling or breakage. The price is good for this product because the product is very heavy duty as opposed to other models. I would recommend this product.

Easy to use. I like it, does the job very well. I tried another product but I ended up keeping this one. The only minor issue I noticed is that it take little longer to drain water from the tank but way better than other product I tried.

TL;DR: If you like a high power typhoon suction and fast refills for your big tanks, you are better off with a python. If your water change involves cleaning heavy and clumpy waste and you are in a hurry, this is not for you. I really love this product and will highly recommend it, a game changer and I no longer dread water changes cause it's so easy. Detailed review: After reading the reviews and comparing it to the python, I decided to get this instead because the phyton seemed a little too powerful for my 10g and the small fish I keep. Not to mention, the price difference between the two is massive. So, I bought it and after using it on my 10 gallon I must say I am in love with it. The product was quite heavy since it is a 50 ft hose, but it seemed durable and everything I needed was there. I love that they provided you with 50ft of hose as it was able to reach my tub and garden hose no problem. Mind you I am not a handy person at all and the setup was very easy for me, I watched the video and I was able to change my water in less than 10 minutes compared to doing a 1 hour bucket trip. The suction was strong enough to catch the fish poop sized of a thread, but not the fine sand substrate. I wouldn't imagine the suction enough to be strong to take a goldfish or pleco poop. It did take a bit to suck out the water, about 2 minutes to get my 10 gallon 50% so if you are in a hurry and have a big tank, it will take a long time draining it depending on how much your water change is. I wasn't scared of the fish being sucked in cause like I said it was a slow suction to where I can monitor it draining. The screws for the hose when filling is not universal, but the last part will fit a garden faucet. I was able to fill up my 10 gallon in about 1 minute. The temperature of my tap water to the aquarium was the same, so I had no problem of just filling it right through but if you're cautious about water temp and the levels of your tap water then I would suggest not getting an auto water changer cause it's something you may not be able to control. The only thing I was worried about is that I was putting chlorinated water directly onto my tank as opposed to the bucket system, I was able to place water conditioner for every bucket of water. I just dosed the tank before amd after with water conditioner and stress cure from api. Honestly, I think this product is a game changer and saved my love for fishkeeping again, I don't have to dread on taking out the buckets again unless for rescaping. It's so easy and simple, the only thing I could see you not being able to use this is if your tank is 5 gallon or less but you could always use it to refill your tank and use a different syphon to do water changes. Anyways, I think it's worth the investments and if you are tired of buckets but do not have the money for a phyton, then this is for you.

Great job

Fantastic for siphoning out water/cleaning gravel, but the attachment for refilling the aquarium with water is atrocious. Just leaks and sprays regardless of faucet type or pressure. The "quick connect" just isn't water tight. If you don't plan on refilling with this same siphon it's fine.

What a magnificent aquarium water changer. I love love it. Very easy to use. I recommend it.

I used this for the first time last night and it made cleaning my 20 gal tank so much easier and faster. I hated lugging my 2 gal bucket back and forth 8 times when I was cleaning the tank. I was able to use the siphon part really easily and quickly. The suction is not quite as good as the larger tube vacuum siphon I had prior but it was worth it to not run back and forth with buckets. Hooking this up to my sink for the fill was a little tricky. I found the instructions and pieces to be confusing. I couldn't get the filter/faucet part off my kitchen or bathroom sinks so wasn't able to use those. I was able to somehow get this hooked up to the hose that attaches to my handheld shower head although I had to remove a piece from that hose to get it to work. i'm not sure if it was set up correctly or not, but it worked and didn't leak so I considered it a win. This will 100% make cleaning my tank way less of a chore now.
