"Don't do that!"

I bought the XL version for my 75gallon long. It makes my water changes in my tanks much easier and convinient. Product arrived really quick and is packaged nicely. But strength wise, I should have gotten a Large. The sock included is ok, I use a fine filter media bag because it's easier to clean. I am very happy with this as it gets deep down in the gravel,and does the job fast. I have a 29g aquarium and it does suction quickly as others have said.

CNZ Final Thoughts

"Works great."

Python overkill for that size but it has it's place. It siphons the water out of the aquarium very quickly. I have several of these for multiple tank sizes. You can see the debris coming up the tube like an elevator- hahah. This hose would be over kill for 20 gals or less but I have 40 gal tanks. I have several divided tanks and I struggle to get the normal syphon in to clean. It will take a few runs to get most of the algae off.

It kept coming off and made a mess on the floor. If this company ever needs a spokesperson I am their man. I used the plastic one when I tried it today. I am very happy with this as it gets deep down in the gravel,and does the job fast. No snails or shrimp would stand a chance. I love the little blue handle for this glass cleaner, too! I wish i had bought this the first time.

"I just can't use it."

If this company ever needs a spokesperson I am their man. It kept coming off and made a mess on the floor. I am very pleased with this product! The only reason for the 4 starts instead of 5, no English directions. No options to purchase them, they look useful. I'm thinking of other ways this could be used! THE ABSOLUTE BEST PART IS THE SUCTION POWER AND TIME SAVING.

"Love this scraper."

I have several of these for multiple tank sizes. Even with my now-bare-bottom tank, the attachments were very ineffective. One swipe each way and the glass was, literally sparkling clean. 5 hours even adding water back to tanks. Product arrived really quick and is packaged nicely. I bought one of these by mistake and I am so eternally grateful for that mistake. Had a minor issue which their service department addressed immediately.

"Otherwise it works great."

Almost a must have for anyone with an aquarium. My puffer attacks the python when I'm cleaning. Changing water and cleaning the tank is a joy now. I gotta say tho that it's really powerful. I am very happy with this as it gets deep down in the gravel,and does the job fast. Water changes and cleaning can be a pain we all know. The issue is that the sponge also blocks any debris from entering.

"Next turn on faucet."

But this AQQA Gravel Cleaner system is AMAZING! 5 hours even adding water back to tanks. I am using this on a bare bottom tank. Python is good too but this is fast, easy and light. Even straightening this it would just close at this point again. Light weight and many attachments for different uses. My puffer attacks the python when I'm cleaning.

"Would def recommend!"

That said, the results were excellent. I happily and heartily recommend this product. It came with 2 attachments, a plastic one and a metal razor one. This is built tough, so that time may be a while. Makes cleaning my daughter's turtle tank much, much easier. I have several divided tanks and I struggle to get the normal syphon in to clean. I may modify mine to be more robust.

"So worth the money."

I had a couple of problems as it was the first time I have used anything like this. We have 3 fish tank in my house, so he has been using the cleaner every day. The other attachment are great as well. For the water pump part, it has strong power, it works great. Size wise, the Medium is good for a 40B. I found that it's difficult to use. It got clogged with a small plastic container that got caught in the disposal.

"Works great."

So after I received my replacement tool, i did a water change with it. Definitely like the bulb for starting suction easily. I found that it's difficult to use. It knocks out green algae pretty easilly. A little tricky with the hand pump. I bought the XL version for my 75gallon long. Ignore the orang plastic clip that attaches to a bucket.
