"Get one it's great!"

It eliminates spilled and dripping water on my carpet and floors. I have several divided tanks and I struggle to get the normal syphon in to clean. I haven't tried all the function tools this kit provided. I may still return this BUT I'm going to try once again. Suction is amazing and I don't have any issues. And suddenly it began running again! It was quiet and I could sink it into the aquarium and stir up the substrate.

Marina 11041 Final Thoughts

"Multiple uses."

But all in all, I'm relieved and happy! I put the water from the from yard into a 58 qt bin first. Easy peasy and clean up is a breeze. I take that off to hit the fine crevices. The trigger can be pulled on and off and it shakes the gravel for you. Prolly also easier to use with larger hands. I let everything soak in water and washed with safe dish soap before using.

2. HIRO AQUATICS New Nano Aquarium Cleaner Kit/Long Nozzle Water Changer for Nano Tank Water Changing

User Ratings: 53

HIRO AQUATICS First Impressions

"Wish I got one sooner!"

5 gallons- it works amazingly well. Had a minor issue which their service department addressed immediately. The water from the front yard garden hose is cold. Do what I did, and do, and so many others have stated in their reviews. I do not write a ton of reviews but I HAVE to review this amazing time saver! Most of the time I just took out half tank then top off with fresh water. The shower head also has a nice pressure control on it to make it Spray more or less.

  • HIRO AQUATICS New Nano Aquarium Cleaner Kit/Long Nozzle Water Changer for Nano Tank Water Changing
  • New Upgraded Version - More powerful and less Messy
  • It is ideal for cleaning mini/nano fish tanks or small betta fish tanks
  • It includes a thinner water tubing (1/4 '' ID) transports water in a longer time (Max Flow Rate is 0.4 Gal/min), leaving you enough time to clean the nano tanks and suck away the fish droppings
  • With the thinner cleaning straw, it is easy to get into the tight spots between rocks, wood, and plants and get them cleaned.
  • Free lifetime tech support from GA, USA
  • The plastic vacuum tube is only 1/4 inch wide, which is smaller than most of other cleaning vacuum cleaners. As a result, it not only can reach into tight spots to clean up, but also transports water in a longer time to leave you enough time to clean a Nano tank, fish bowls or other smaller aquariums.
  • Max Flow Rate is only 0.4 Gallon/min.
  • This upgraded version includes a flow restrictor which let you control water flow easier than ever.

HIRO AQUATICS Final Thoughts

"Easy to use."

It finally broke after 10 years of use so I could justify buying a new one! It pulls out the dirty water and debris but doesn't take your substrate with it. The nuisance has certainly yielded me from cleaning tank more often. Best fish maintenance product I have purchased. Aside from that, i am very happy with the product and would encourage you to get it! The shower mode make more oxygen just like an airstone. It got clogged a few times and i had to take it to the sink and run water through it.

"Vs hard plastic part."

I pushed the tip down into the substrate and pulled the ditritus out right away. It made the water change in our 55 gallon tank so much easier! It kept coming off and made a mess on the floor. This has made it a lot easier to clean our fish tank. I may still return this BUT I'm going to try once again. I have several divided tanks and I struggle to get the normal syphon in to clean. I'd recommend this, but it just takes a little practice.

"This works really well."

I let everything soak in water and washed with safe dish soap before using. Like I said can splice more hose on to reach to the outside or wherever. I pushed the tip down into the substrate and pulled the ditritus out right away. This one doesn't lose suction, and is easy to use. This way I could empty into a 5 gallon bucket for mini water changes. Definitely not for the common colored gravel found at pet stores. I used a plastic hose from home depot as this black hose is worthless.

"Don't do that!"

I got this to replace my previous siphon, which was falling apart and pretty nasty. Suction is amazing and I don't have any issues. You can't get a better product for such a decent price! I was using a regular siphon gravel cleaner and it was painstaking. This way I could empty into a 5 gallon bucket for mini water changes. I wanted another one but amazon just wants me to return it. The bucket clamp also doesn't work very well.

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.

This one doesn't lose suction, and is easy to use. The water gets going fast too so be careful lol thanks so much! I bought this one and I absolutely love it. So much better than my smaller python.

"Totally recommend."

It kept coming off and made a mess on the floor. When I used it to get the water out, I found out it has pump function. Gets the turtle poos and I dont have to empty my tank every 2 weeks! Hard for small hands like mine to grasp and use easily. Easy peasy and clean up is a breeze. I got this to replace my previous siphon, which was falling apart and pretty nasty. Once put together, I tried it immediately- it was AWESOME!

"I returned that one."

Hopefully my replacement works and I can change my review. The speed of water removal works for cleaning an occupied tank. If used in a deeper tanks, the shower effect will all be underwater. It does the job I need it to,very effective. 5 gallons- it works amazingly well. Python is good too but this is fast, easy and light. I THINK most likely it came from the factory because it had a industrial smell to it.

I think this vacuum is a smart design by someone. Almost a must have for anyone with an aquarium. Great product and would highly recommend! We have a snapping turtle and I was having to clean his tank 2-3 times a month. Prolly also easier to use with larger hands. But It always ended up messy with water on the floor. You can't get a better product for such a decent price!

9. Shoresu Aquarium Clean Tool Water Changer Gravel Cleaner Fish Tank Siphon Pump Portable Blue

Shoresu First Impressions

"Cleaning is so EASY!"

The pump works very well too, two squeezes and it's siphoning. I found that it's difficult to use. I did have to cut one of the tubes to make it a little shorter but that was easy. I LOVE IT SO MUCH I'm getting another for the fish tank at my Mom's house. So after I received my replacement tool, i did a water change with it. It is not good to let the goldfish encounter the cold water directly. You can see the debris coming up the tube like an elevator- hahah.

"Great product."

It did however do a better job than the gravel vac i was using before. I LOVE IT SO MUCH I'm getting another for the fish tank at my Mom's house. I let everything soak in water and washed with safe dish soap before using. It fills buckets faster than my old siphon. It eliminates spilled and dripping water on my carpet and floors. I think this vacuum is a smart design by someone. Instead, I would suck from the end of the tube until water came out.
