"This was perfect."

This one doesn't lose suction, and is easy to use. I have several divided tanks and I struggle to get the normal syphon in to clean. Once you get the tank water flowing out of the tubing. Hopefully my replacement works and I can change my review. I bought this one and I absolutely love it. Great product and would highly recommend! It works great and was fairly inexpensive compared to other similar products.

"It worked perfectly."

It quit working after the second use! Do what I did, and do, and so many others have stated in their reviews. Soft tubing, large debris basket, hand pump to get it to flow. - Multiple head attachment for different tasks. I pushed the tip down into the substrate and pulled the ditritus out right away. It's too small, just wash that baby out at the sink. The water gets going fast too so be careful lol thanks so much!

"Don't do that!"

I have several divided tanks and I struggle to get the normal syphon in to clean. This hose would be over kill for 20 gals or less but I have 40 gal tanks. It works great and was fairly inexpensive compared to other similar products. I gotta say tho that it's really powerful. My prior one took several squeezes and I had to hold a finger over the outlet. I put it together in a cinch and was off and running. The nuisance has certainly yielded me from cleaning tank more often.

"It's so easy."

It finally broke after 10 years of use so I could justify buying a new one! I put it together in a cinch and was off and running. Once you practice with it some its a really nice thing to have. Great product and would highly recommend! Now, the water change is a piece of cake. So this thing has alot of parts and poor instructions. Ignore the orang plastic clip that attaches to a bucket.

"If so hit helpful."

Simple, lightweight design does exactly what it says it will do. It works great and was fairly inexpensive compared to other similar products. This water pump certainly takes much of those hassle out of water changes. This siphon really sucks, and I'm glad I bought it. The vacuum insn't too loud which is good, and has very good suction. The bucket clamp also doesn't work very well. I also found that the angled attachment clogged way easy.

Water Garden Oasis 2129 Final Thoughts

"So not too durable."

It is simple, but not without being a very thoughtfully designed product. This water pump certainly takes much of those hassle out of water changes. Makes keeping the fish tank alot easier and quicker! Definitely not for the common colored gravel found at pet stores. Gets the turtle poos and I dont have to empty my tank every 2 weeks! It fills buckets faster than my old siphon. It is not good to let the goldfish encounter the cold water directly.

Gravel Cleaners Final Thoughts

"Cleaning is so EASY!"

I did have to cut one of the tubes to make it a little shorter but that was easy. Gets the turtle poos and I dont have to empty my tank every 2 weeks! Almost a must have for anyone with an aquarium. Perhaps if it gets a piece of sand in the pump then it freezes or seizes. We have a snapping turtle and I was having to clean his tank 2-3 times a month. This little tool helped so much my bare bottom tank looks great again. My prior one took several squeezes and I had to hold a finger over the outlet.

I gotta say tho that it's really powerful. It was quiet and I could sink it into the aquarium and stir up the substrate. This siphon really sucks, and I'm glad I bought it. I had to shake the substrate out of the bottom inch of the tube only twice! Just incase there is residual factory lube or something on it. Love the item and recommend this seller! This way I could empty into a 5 gallon bucket for mini water changes.
