"Becareful not to do this!"

I have a glass bottom aquarium with no substrate. It got clogged a few times and i had to take it to the sink and run water through it. Do what I did, and do, and so many others have stated in their reviews. If, like me, you can't get suction going on a low-tech vacuum, get this thing! The costomer service for this company is wonderful. And the price is more than reasonable. Python is good too but this is fast, easy and light.

SunGrow Final Thoughts

"Exactly what I needed!"

I have large fish and large fish make large poop! Connections leak over time so I have to put some silicon joint while I join them. That said, the results were excellent. That said, the results were excellent. You fill the chamber with filter substrate. I would recommend turning your filter off during the process. Maybe I'm using it wrong, but I got water EVERYWHERE.

"Cleans well and quickly."

I fell in love with African Dwarf Frogs when they were in a 10 gallon in my kitchen. Within a half an hour my tank almost looked brand new. Next time, I'll lay towels down around the tank. The costomer service for this company is wonderful. I have a 29g aquarium and it does suction quickly as others have said. If it isnt working for you, try without the micro pad in and do a great clean. The only draw back, wish it came with a longer hose or attachment to make it longer.

"Doesn't work."

Like I said can splice more hose on to reach to the outside or wherever. I have large fish and large fish make large poop! I've done the siphon vacuum attempts with 3 different products. I learned that the hose attachment was great at removing water from the tank. It's also pretty slow going, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. If for some reason this one fails, I'll just buy it again. I even decimated my snail problem with this thing.

"I have a 4 gallon tank."

I have gone through two others and they lasted about a month. I would definitely recommend this product. I got a bunch of sludge out of the bottom of my aquarium. Python overkill for that size but it has it's place. So I use the NICREW power vac in between water changes and it works great! That said, the results were excellent. Suction is amazing and I don't have any issues.

"Doesn't work."

This electric gravel vac was the best solution for my set up. If you have a HUGE tank, though, it will tank you a while. I lose about 5 gallons a week due to evaporation. Using a bucket to remove old water and then fill up bucket with new water. Compared to how I was cleaning before, this made cleaning my tanks a breeze. This hose would be over kill for 20 gals or less but I have 40 gal tanks. Suction is amazing and I don't have any issues.

  • ✔ 2-MINUTES TO SETUP — The short nozzle feature of SunGrow Aquarium sand and substrate cleaner is perfect when you want to replenish or drain water out of your tank. Just place the nozzle in your tank. For convenience, attach it with a suction cup. This will make work easier for you because you don’t need to hold it while draining out water! Press on, or squeeze the pump bulb 5 to 7 times and the water will start to flow out of the nozzle. See the description below for more details.
  • ✔ HASSLE-FREE STORAGE --- The flexible siphon pump helps preventing the small gravel and debris from going into the hose. Not only that, after it has done the deed, it won’t give you a hard time thinking where you would store it, as it can be placed practically anywhere! With its strategic portable design, you can keep it in any place you want where you can easily access it the next time you need it.

SunGrow Final Thoughts

"It's a great product."

Connections leak over time so I have to put some silicon joint while I join them. I would recommend turning your filter off during the process. Gravel cleaning has become so easy and mess free. Hard for small hands like mine to grasp and use easily. 20 gallon long also means more ADFs! Do what I did, and do, and so many others have stated in their reviews. Putting the thing together is really intuitive and easy.
