Luigi's Fish Tank Cleaner - Gravel Pump Vacuum for Aquarium - Hand Siphon Hose to Remove and Change Water or Sand in Minutes - Fish Aquarium Accessories, Supplies & Cleaning Tools

This product is very easy to use. It works well for any size of aquarium. This is my second time purchasing them as the first one we accidentally pump a root of a plant inside, it got stuck and broke. To avoid getting the stone or large items inside, please yse the attachment that have the small holes with it to filter them. For cleaning the bottom of the tank, this water pump is very durable and lightweight.

I love this thing. It does feel a bit cheap but it performs so well. Just squeeze the pump and water starts flowing.

This item did the job well,the only thing that was surprising is I expected to be a little sturdier but all and all bid a good job on m fish tank and my small outdoor fountain

Works super well! I’m shocked how well this suctions to clean my turtle tank!

After reading numerous reviews, I thought I'd try this as I only have a 5 gallon tank set up for my great niece who tends to overfeed when she visits.I've had salt and fresh water tanks in the past, but don't have any now nor do I have any of the equipment. This seemed to be a good choice for this size tank which houses one betta and instead of changing the whole tank I just wanted to clean the debris in the small stones.This could suck up the stones and debris if placed directly onto the stones, but I only wanted the debris. I tried stirring up the tank and pointed the nozzle right at and within the debris and it barely took it in.The darned thing works great for draining the tank, which I did ultimately - I cleaned the whole tank, kept 1/4 of the water for the bacteria, topped it with fresh distilled water and waited a day to replace the fish.Darned peanut tank was more work than I expected!Its easy to clean out the hose, but getting it dried is a whole different matter. After leaving it in my shower to dry for 3 days, I hung it over a bucket in my basement.

It was easier, quicker, and dis the same job as one of the electric aquarium vacuums.

The media could not be loaded. I purchased this based on the stellar reviews. I was highly disappointed with this product. I attached a video and I am pressing it with left hand. You can see how flimsy the product is. The photo is showing you a reference as to how long the tube is. I have a 55 gallon aquarium and you can see if you put it into the water to reach the gravel, you have limited hose to reach out of the aquarium.I attempted to use this today when I got it. The first attempt, I was able to stir up the gravel and get some of it cleaned. It was maybe 5 minutes and I was struggling to keep the hose close enough to a bucket. I was only able to do the front part of the aquarium with how the hose was reaching. I removed it from the tank after getting maybe 2 gallons out of the tank. I tried to put a chair up close to me, to put my bucket on. Put the thing back in the tank and tried to squeeze and squeeze but it wouldn't siphon any water. Checked to see if any rocks might be lodged, nothing in the hose at all. Pulled it back out to shake and see if I could hear any gravel, thinking maybe the valves are blocked. Nothing.I will be returning this product because something is not right. This is comparable to cheap china made stuff that is typical of Amazon.

I thought from reading reviews this would be TRASH. But this little cheap product has saved me with turtle aquarium cleaning. It’s basic. Easy to use. Easy to clean. Simple. I love it.
