"Love this scraper."

AQQA multifunctional vacuum cleaner makes its job absolutely well. It was on low so I put it on high and found that the unit would be ok. I'm thinking of other ways this could be used! This is built tough, so that time may be a while. Definitely like the bulb for starting suction easily. It siphons the water out of the aquarium very quickly. With this product I was able to do it by myself quickly and easily!

"Works great."

Try getting floating pieces of poop into a small slit of an opening. Suction is amazing and I don't have any issues. Going to purchase the larger size in the future. AQQA multifunctional vacuum cleaner makes its job absolutely well. It is versatile, as I've used it in a 55 gallon, 35 gallon tank and a 1 gallon tank. I can reach my hand in, but it seems to stress her out. Size wise, the Medium is good for a 40B.

"This works much better."

5 hours even adding water back to tanks. I bought the XL version for my 75gallon long. Ignore the orang plastic clip that attaches to a bucket. Product seems to be well made and should work a long time with reasonable care. I did not receive the glass scraper with mine, but don't think I'd use it anyways. It knocks out green algae pretty easilly. Has good suction and decent build quality.

"Who knows."

Hard for small hands like mine to grasp and use easily. Size wise, the Medium is good for a 40B. Even straightening this it would just close at this point again. It will also flip to the side of the tank as shown in another customers review video. Putting the thing together is really intuitive and easy. My puffer attacks the python when I'm cleaning. Connections leak over time so I have to put some silicon joint while I join them.

"Wonderful!"

I happily and heartily recommend this product. Simple, lightweight design does exactly what it says it will do. I have 6 tanks 130 gallons, 85, 75, 55, 39 and 20 gallons.

For the water pump part, it has strong power, it works great. Putting the thing together is really intuitive and easy.

"Love this scraper."

Gets under decorations between plants and in corners. I am very pleased with this product! I used the plastic one when I tried it today. This is good for taking out the bull and then finishing with credit card. I also found that the angled attachment clogged way easy. I have a 29g aquarium and it does suction quickly as others have said. I was able to get behind most of my plants no problem when cleaning the glass.

"Exactly what I needed!"

But strength wise, I should have gotten a Large. The other attachment are great as well. Putting the thing together is really intuitive and easy. The sock included is ok, I use a fine filter media bag because it's easier to clean. This tool helped me clean all the glass in about 2 mins. I am very pleased with this product! I cleaned it in the sink then cleaned my other 20 long tank.

"Lesson learned."

Going to purchase the larger size in the future. My puffer attacks the python when I'm cleaning. I gotta say tho that it's really powerful. Even with my now-bare-bottom tank, the attachments were very ineffective. I bought the large one and it makes quick work of alge scrubbing. I have a 29g aquarium and it does suction quickly as others have said. I happily and heartily recommend this product.

"Great glass cleaner."

It came with 2 attachments, a plastic one and a metal razor one. Python overkill for that size but it has it's place. I did have to cut one of the tubes to make it a little shorter but that was easy. I'm very happy with it, and definitely recommend. It got clogged with a small plastic container that got caught in the disposal. I have to drag it across the tank and it fights me. It kept coming off and made a mess on the floor.

I'm very happy with it, and definitely recommend. I bought the large one and it makes quick work of alge scrubbing. This hose would be over kill for 20 gals or less but I have 40 gal tanks.

"Great product."

Hopefully my replacement works and I can change my review. I also used this LinkinsLegacy cleaner in my kitchen sink. Hard for small hands like mine to grasp and use easily. I bought one of these by mistake and I am so eternally grateful for that mistake. But this AQQA Gravel Cleaner system is AMAZING! Try getting floating pieces of poop into a small slit of an opening. I bought the XL version for my 75gallon long.

  • Jasonwell Magnetic Aquarium Fish Tank Glass Algae Glass Cleaner Scrubber Floating Clean Brush
  • Clean algae and scum off of the inside of your aquarium the easy, fun way!
  • Strong magnetic forces cause the inside cleaning brush to follow the outside handle. Just wipe the outside, and the inside is cleaned!
  • The inside piece floats, so if it becomes separated from the outside piece, it's easy to retrieve.
  • Simply drag the no-scratch, felt-lined handle and inside your aquarium, the scrubber follows, cleaning as it goes
  • Important: Made for common glass fish tank, not for acrylic and low iron glass. Please choose the size by the thickness of your fish tank glass. The larger, the stronger the magnet.

It kept coming off and made a mess on the floor. I gotta say tho that it's really powerful. Had a minor issue which their service department addressed immediately. The costomer service for this company is wonderful. I'm really happy I bought one of these. It makes my water changes in my tanks much easier and convinient. I have several divided tanks and I struggle to get the normal syphon in to clean.

Definitely worth the money spent on the product. I liked the idea of this product when I saw it, and decided to take a chance. One swipe each way and the glass was, literally sparkling clean. I'd recommend this, but it just takes a little practice. Makes cleaning my daughter's turtle tank much, much easier. Works really well and is very powerful.

This thing cleans the glass on my tank quickly and efficiently. It got clogged a few times and i had to take it to the sink and run water through it.
