"All you need."

It kept coming off and made a mess on the floor. Water changes and cleaning can be a pain we all know. Even straightening this it would just close at this point again. Simple, lightweight design does exactly what it says it will do. It is versatile, as I've used it in a 55 gallon, 35 gallon tank and a 1 gallon tank. I am using this on a bare bottom tank. It did however do a better job than the gravel vac i was using before.

"Works great."

Python is good too but this is fast, easy and light. Product seems to be well made and should work a long time with reasonable care. Once put together, I tried it immediately- it was AWESOME! Does not come apart easily like some others I have had. I was able to get behind most of my plants no problem when cleaning the glass. A quality product and if you have a tank, this cleaner is a must. Product seems to be well made and should work a long time with reasonable care.

Pawfly Final Thoughts

"The thing is huge, too."

If this company ever needs a spokesperson I am their man. My puffer attacks the python when I'm cleaning. It will take a few runs to get most of the algae off. If I had to purchase again, I would try the smaller model. Ignore the orang plastic clip that attaches to a bucket. The cleaner is very easy to install, and it is multifunction. Python overkill for that size but it has it's place.

"Best effect."

One swipe each way and the glass was, literally sparkling clean. The scrapper will float if detached from the magnet. Definitely not for the common colored gravel found at pet stores. Works really well and is very powerful. No snails or shrimp would stand a chance. I gotta say, this vacuum water cleaner gets the job done. The issue is that the sponge also blocks any debris from entering.

  • Telescopic handle allows you to reach the bottom of 9 to 24 inch deep tank without dripping hands.
  • Solid flexible handle built with 304 stainless steel won't get rust or bent. Excellent net for skimming small debris or leaves from marine aquarium and pools.

Pawfly Final Thoughts

"I still like it."

Made water changes so much faster and did not have to accidentally swallow water. Going to purchase the larger size in the future. Changing water and cleaning the tank is a joy now. Water changes and cleaning can be a pain we all know. The only reason for the 4 starts instead of 5, no English directions. I am very happy with this as it gets deep down in the gravel,and does the job fast. Putting the thing together is really intuitive and easy.

"Lesson learned."

It knocks out green algae pretty easilly. It got clogged with a small plastic container that got caught in the disposal. Works very well to clean algae from the glass. I liked the idea of this product when I saw it, and decided to take a chance. Definitely not for the common colored gravel found at pet stores. The only reason for the 4 starts instead of 5, no English directions. Prolly also easier to use with larger hands.

"Added my stress coat."

If I had to purchase again, I would try the smaller model. I bought the large one and it makes quick work of alge scrubbing. I gotta say tho that it's really powerful. I did not receive the glass scraper with mine, but don't think I'd use it anyways. We have a snapping turtle and I was having to clean his tank 2-3 times a month. We have one from our siphon vacuum and it truly completes this set. Had a minor issue which their service department addressed immediately.

FISH PROS FN-401 Final Thoughts

"But it's so cumbersome."

I did add a hose from an old gravel cleaner to reach my bucket. It siphons the water out of the aquarium very quickly. With this product I was able to do it by myself quickly and easily! Suction is amazing and I don't have any issues. I'd recommend this, but it just takes a little practice. I have to drag it across the tank and it fights me. I bought the XL version for my 75gallon long.
