TetraWater Cleaner Gravel Siphon for Aquariums, Easily Clean Freshwater Aquariums

Very happy that it moves old fish water very quickly. Can drain a gallon in about 1 minute or less. Must use with a drain bucket of some sort. Obviously you can drain as much as you need to. Easy to clean and the hose is plenty long. There is also a built in screen that prevents anything but water from being sucked up. Worth the price!

It’s a pretty simple set up but works fine. The priming bulb worked great and the screen in the pickup tube is a nice touch. Didn’t leak at all seems durable for the price, and made cleaning the tank easy. A few things I cleaned my 10 with it and it’s perfect for that or maybe a 20 long. Other than that the pickup tube is short so on my 29 I had to get wet and the discharge hose would not reach the floor. So I know the label says up to 50. It would work yes but I’d get something with a bigger pickup tube and longer discharge hose for anything over a 20g.

The media could not be loaded. I couldn’t get a good video/angle of me doing a tank clean, where you could actually see the pump doing its job. I also had my 2 year old standing next to me so I couldn’t really hold my phone BUT- it definitely does its job, and quick! It drained the water of my tank really fast. It’s a great gravel cleaner too, but you’ll easily drain the tank so just prepare for a water change. This pump is strong & was super easy to figure out, all you have to do is squeeze the blue thing repeatedly. Awesome, good quality pump!Only thing is, the clip that attaches to the bucket is pretty loose on mine. It comes off easily & isn’t tight around the tube part either, so just be careful not to accidentally pull it out and spill water on your floors! I have a 5.5 gal, see photos for size reference.

This is an awesome tool! I’ve used it twice now to partially change the water in my 2.5 gallon betta tank. It does a very good job, without much disruption to the fish environment. The vacuum action easily removes the fish excrement and debris without sucking up the gravel. It has made my life a lot easier! Five stars all the way!

I only have a small 5 gallon tank and it worked well for that size.

Clip has a tendency to fall off so I had to hold it in place. Hand pump does work to get the siphon action going. Was able to drain most of a large kiddie pool full of water in a couple hours, which is why I needed it (pool was way too heavy to move while full of water). Functioned for what I needed it for. Could be better constructed. I've only used it once.
