"This item is wonderful."

It doesn't try to eat the rocks like the triangular head does. Makes cleaning my daughter's turtle tank much, much easier. I wanted another one but amazon just wants me to return it. Definitely not for the common colored gravel found at pet stores. I do not write a ton of reviews but I HAVE to review this amazing time saver! I even separated the tubes and used it to clean my small 5 gallon! I even separated the tubes and used it to clean my small 5 gallon!

"Easy to use."

That will show you which parts go were. I put it together in a cinch and was off and running. Just incase there is residual factory lube or something on it. Water changing+ vacuuming, you can use it as powerhead to make more water movement. I bought this one and I absolutely love it. You won't go wrong with this product. Easy peasy and clean up is a breeze.

"And it keeps flowing!"

Gets the turtle poos and I dont have to empty my tank every 2 weeks! I put it together in a cinch and was off and running. Maybe this will make me not put them off now.

SLSON Final Thoughts

"Ouch, lol."

When I used it to get the water out, I found out it has pump function. Definitely like the bulb for starting suction easily. Definitely not for the common colored gravel found at pet stores. It eliminates spilled and dripping water on my carpet and floors. Most of the time I just took out half tank then top off with fresh water. But It always ended up messy with water on the floor. I wish i had bought this the first time.

Sun Dynasty Final Thoughts

"I just can't use it."

I had to shake the substrate out of the bottom inch of the tube only twice! Python overkill for that size but it has it's place. Makes cleaning my daughter's turtle tank much, much easier. Now, the water change is a piece of cake. Works as advertised and was delivered faster than estimated. I may still return this BUT I'm going to try once again. Suction is amazing and I don't have any issues.

"That was a bit confusing."

Most of the time I just took out half tank then top off with fresh water. Instead, I would suck from the end of the tube until water came out. Definitely worth the money spent on the product. It did however do a better job than the gravel vac i was using before. It fills buckets faster than my old siphon. It fills buckets faster than my old siphon.

"This item is wonderful."

This water pump certainly takes much of those hassle out of water changes. I had to put the goldfish into the other 5-gallon tank, and then do the water change. I really love this gravel cleaner for water changing and gravel cleaning. So this thing has alot of parts and poor instructions. So after I received my replacement tool, i did a water change with it. The vacuum insn't too loud which is good, and has very good suction. The shower mode make more oxygen just like an airstone.
