"Great product."

Easy peasy and clean up is a breeze. I used the plastic one when I tried it today. Once you get the tank water flowing out of the tubing. I gotta say, this vacuum water cleaner gets the job done. This is built tough, so that time may be a while. I am no longer spending half the day to clean all my tanks. I have several divided tanks and I struggle to get the normal syphon in to clean.

  • Penn Plax Aquarium Fish Net – Aqua Blue Quick Catch Mesh Wire Net Safe for All Fish – 4 Inches
  • Aquarium fish net is safe for all fish.  Fine nylon net lining is designed with their safety in mind.  The 4 inch net is a great size for many different size fish and aquariums.

Penn-Plax QN4 Final Thoughts

"Took him an hour."

You can see the debris coming up the tube like an elevator- hahah. If I had to purchase again, I would try the smaller model. Makes cleaning my daughter's turtle tank much, much easier. I was able to get behind most of my plants no problem when cleaning the glass. Works very well to clean algae from the glass. Had a minor issue which their service department addressed immediately. Do what I did, and do, and so many others have stated in their reviews.

Penn-Plax QN3 Final Thoughts

"Great cleaning device."

I bought this cleaner for my husband and we got this in 15 days before. It costs every penny that I paid for it. Definitely like the bulb for starting suction easily. Works as advertised and was delivered faster than estimated. I am very happy with this as it gets deep down in the gravel,and does the job fast. I am using this on a bare bottom tank. This thing cleans the glass on my tank quickly and efficiently.

"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.

I'd recommend this, but it just takes a little practice. Does not come apart easily like some others I have had. No options to purchase them, they look useful. If I had to purchase again, I would try the smaller model. With this product I was able to do it by myself quickly and easily! I cleaned it in the sink then cleaned my other 20 long tank. I have several divided tanks and I struggle to get the normal syphon in to clean.

Made water changes so much faster and did not have to accidentally swallow water. If this company ever needs a spokesperson I am their man. This is my second review but since this is a great product I'll do it again. So after I received my replacement tool, i did a water change with it.

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.

"Otherwise it works great."

The scrubber is identicle to the material used in velcro. The bucket clamp also doesn't work very well. Light weight and many attachments for different uses. Hopefully my replacement works and I can change my review. I have to drag it across the tank and it fights me. Python overkill for that size but it has it's place. I can reach my hand in, but it seems to stress her out.

  • 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.

"Not a bad little pump."

We have one from our siphon vacuum and it truly completes this set. I gotta say tho that it's really powerful. Does not come apart easily like some others I have had. Python is good too but this is fast, easy and light. It will take a few runs to get most of the algae off. We have a snapping turtle and I was having to clean his tank 2-3 times a month. The scrubber is identicle to the material used in velcro.
