Aqua KT First Impressions
"No doubt, it is worth it."I even separated the tubes and used it to clean my small 5 gallon! All it takes is a couple of pumps and the water starts flowing. I haven't tried all the function tools this kit provided. Most of the time I just took out half tank then top off with fresh water. Works as advertised and was delivered faster than estimated. It does the job I need it to,very effective. It pulls out the dirty water and debris but doesn't take your substrate with it.

Aqua KT Final Thoughts
"Wish I found this sooner."I have several divided tanks and I struggle to get the normal syphon in to clean. Do what I did, and do, and so many others have stated in their reviews. It works great and was fairly inexpensive compared to other similar products. Almost a must have for anyone with an aquarium. The costomer service for this company is wonderful. I even separated the tubes and used it to clean my small 5 gallon! Definitely like the bulb for starting suction easily.

"TIME SAVER!"The nuisance has certainly yielded me from cleaning tank more often. Perhaps if it gets a piece of sand in the pump then it freezes or seizes. Hopefully my replacement works and I can change my review. I wish i had bought this the first time. I do not write a ton of reviews but I HAVE to review this amazing time saver! Works as advertised and was delivered faster than estimated. Soft tubing, large debris basket, hand pump to get it to flow.

"That was a bit confusing."I have a 55 gallon turtle aquarium and this works awesome for it. I got this to replace my previous siphon, which was falling apart and pretty nasty. The bucket clamp also doesn't work very well. I let everything soak in water and washed with safe dish soap before using. You can see the debris coming up the tube like an elevator- hahah. It's too small, just wash that baby out at the sink. It eliminates spilled and dripping water on my carpet and floors.

It works great and was fairly inexpensive compared to other similar products. So this thing has alot of parts and poor instructions. The shower mode make more oxygen just like an airstone. Definitely not for the common colored gravel found at pet stores. I had to put the goldfish into the other 5-gallon tank, and then do the water change.

"Works so easily."I could see it working for 10 gallons, especially with a little experience. The pump works very well too, two squeezes and it's siphoning. The water from the front yard garden hose is cold. 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. It was quiet and I could sink it into the aquarium and stir up the substrate.
