AQQA Final Thoughts

"So I gave it a shot."

This one doesn't lose suction, and is easy to use. Hard for small hands like mine to grasp and use easily. I pushed the tip down into the substrate and pulled the ditritus out right away. But It always ended up messy with water on the floor. I got this to replace my previous siphon, which was falling apart and pretty nasty. This has made it a lot easier to clean our fish tank. The vacuum insn't too loud which is good, and has very good suction.

"I will try again."

Python is good too but this is fast, easy and light. The speed of water removal works for cleaning an occupied tank. I even separated the tubes and used it to clean my small 5 gallon! Works as advertised and was delivered faster than estimated. Ignore the orang plastic clip that attaches to a bucket. Instead, I would suck from the end of the tube until water came out. I do not write a ton of reviews but I HAVE to review this amazing time saver!

STARROAD-TIM First Impressions

"Mine's just 5."

The suction tube is plenty long to reach all over in the'hard to reach' spots. It pulls out the dirty water and debris but doesn't take your substrate with it. The pump works very well too, two squeezes and it's siphoning. Very impressed with their responsiveness as they stand behind their product. I used a plastic hose from home depot as this black hose is worthless. I have gone through two others and they lasted about a month. Python is good too but this is fast, easy and light.

"Exactly what I needed!"

I put it together in a cinch and was off and running. Python overkill for that size but it has it's place. Very impressed with their responsiveness as they stand behind their product. I am very pleased with this product! It doesn't try to eat the rocks like the triangular head does. The costomer service for this company is wonderful. It was quiet and I could sink it into the aquarium and stir up the substrate.

"It has two connectors."

It's too small, just wash that baby out at the sink. The vacuum insn't too loud which is good, and has very good suction. This is definitely a better tool overall. They have plenty of suction to clean an inch or so off the ground. Gets under decorations between plants and in corners. 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.

"Works so easily."

Now, the water change is a piece of cake. Water changing+ vacuuming, you can use it as powerhead to make more water movement. I really love this gravel cleaner for water changing and gravel cleaning. I just don't know why I didn’t order it sooner. I THINK most likely it came from the factory because it had a industrial smell to it. It is not good to let the goldfish encounter the cold water directly. That will show you which parts go were.

"Wish were a tad longer."

Like I said can splice more hose on to reach to the outside or wherever. Prolly also easier to use with larger hands. I didn't see any grease or anything, but it smelled like it. I let everything soak in water and washed with safe dish soap before using. Definitely not for the common colored gravel found at pet stores. I felt comfortable cleaning both my 10 gallon and 55 gallon tank. It eliminates spilled and dripping water on my carpet and floors.

"Easy to use."

This way I could empty into a 5 gallon bucket for mini water changes. But all in all, I'm relieved and happy! Works as advertised and was delivered faster than estimated. I used a plastic hose from home depot as this black hose is worthless. So after I received my replacement tool, i did a water change with it. Gets the turtle poos and I dont have to empty my tank every 2 weeks! You can see the debris coming up the tube like an elevator- hahah.

It fills buckets faster than my old siphon. I felt comfortable cleaning both my 10 gallon and 55 gallon tank. This one doesn't lose suction, and is easy to use.

I pushed the tip down into the substrate and pulled the ditritus out right away. Now, the water change is a piece of cake. It finally broke after 10 years of use so I could justify buying a new one! I have several divided tanks and I struggle to get the normal syphon in to clean. Had a minor issue which their service department addressed immediately. I had to shake the substrate out of the bottom inch of the tube only twice! I let everything soak in water and washed with safe dish soap before using.
