Bought this aquarium siphon and I’m happy to report that it sucks extremely well. Like, impressive suction. No struggling, no half-hearted gurgling — just confident, committed debris removal. Gravel? Gone. Fish poop? Vanished. Poor life choices floating in the tank? Addressed. It starts easily, flows smoothly, and makes water changes way less annoying. If you’re in the market for a siphon that understands the assignment and isn’t afraid to do the dirty work, this is it. Would absolutely buy again. Read more
When doing a water changed I noticed how much debris came up and I would pour the water out of the gravel so I decided to order this the 5ft-s after ordering it cam in 2 days and it does a great job of vacuuming the debris out of my gravel for reference I have a 5 gallon fish tank and this worked wonderfully to note you will have to pump a few times to get the water running, but the water does come out fast, but the water will only come out when it’s facing downwards not when it is facing up but when it started to run fast, I just stopped it with my finger, but it did a fabulous job with the debris sometimes because I take breaks between dumping out the water the siphon I did have to pump a few more times to get it running again, but it worked really great and I got all the debris out. It sucked up the debris wonderfully. Also, it is so easy to assemble just to make sure with the ball that you squeeze, you have it in the tube the right way or it will be a pain to get out but that was my fault for not reading the instructions correctly. The clip worked great against my tank and the 5FT – S was perfect for my size aquarium. One more thing for the people that have live plants. It did not suck up the gravel or mess up the way my plants were planted in my tank. UPDATE: it’s been 3 weeks and I have used it twice and it has worked good. The ball siphon was being annoying once for a little but now it is good. Read more
Definitely works well at removing water and debris but not that good at re filling your tank sense it works off gravity, good price for an easy to use siphon to get rid of fish poo. Read more
I have a small wildlife pond. About 95-110 gallon. Used it to pull silt off the bottom stones. String algae takes over in spring after bioburden from over winter. This is easy to use, 4-5 pumps on the bulb and the water was flowing out with the silt into my 5 gallon bucket. Works as advertised Read more
I should have got this a long time ago. Very easy to use. Simple assembly. The hose goes on the " in " side of the black pumper. That is all you have to do no tools needed. Put the big cylinder in the gravel and start pumping "about three pumps maybe four. Until it starts pumping the water by itself out of the fish tank. I've been taking cups of water out of there at a time. I should have got this a long time ago. Anyway highly recommend., easy to use. Read more
The product works well for my larger fish tanks but not so great for the smaller ones that are 10 gallons or less. It was easy to assemble and does not leak but it can be difficult to get water out of the tube once it is in there. So after a cleaning you may just have some nasty water sitting in the tube until next cleaning. It picks up sand well so in my tank that had sand substrate it would pick up that but not the waste because the fish waste was larger than the sand. It’s a bit difficult to clean but other than that I have no real problems with it. I would say if you have smaller fish that are not major waste producers and if you are okay losing a bit of the sand substrate (if you have sand) then this product is worth it and good for a beginner fish tank owner/keeper. But I would advise against getting it for smaller tanks because it will not work as well and may not work at all. Read more
This 7 ft siphon was just the right size to keep it in off my carpeting and long enough to stretch onto another tiled floor in the kitchen. It works very very well and if the quality keeps up I would definitely order again. The clip makes it SO MUCH easier to keep the hose in place in your bucket. Very happy with this product for my aquarium Read more
it was easy to assemble, almost didn’t need the instructions. this is VERY beginner friendly and works like a miracle if the place you’re putting the water into is lower than the tank. the 5ft-S size was perfect for me! but i could benefit from a longer one as well! you only have to pump the ball once or twice to get it started and then it runs by itself! you can always stop it with your finger if you want.
