Works great. Unfortunately the connector broke after only a few uses. Update 2/5: The connector piece that attaches the hose to the main hand pump cracked and broke somehow after a few uses. Reached out to the seller and they not only responded promptly and although did not have stand-alone replacement part, they sent me a bunch of parts from other returns they had, to hopefully include the piece that broke. I just got the package and hoping the part is among it so I can fix mine and use it again. Outstanding customer service! Read more

I don't write reviews. But the manufaturer/seller of QZQ Aquarium Gravel Cleaner are worth taking the time to support. From the photo I wasn't sure if it was large enough to service 55 Gallon tanks. I was. It was easy to start, stop, change positions and start the water flowing again into the tube. And the clamps made it easy get water to flow into a bucket rather than on to the floor. (: LOL A well-thought-out product providing everything you need. Well, except the bucket. LOL. Read more

The gravel cleaner has strong suction and reaches every part of my tank easily. The extra accessories like the net, scraper, and thermometer strip are really useful. Some parts feel a bit lightweight, but overall it does the job and makes tank maintenance much simpler Read more

This thing is dope lol. I haven't used the attachments really but the gravel cleaner itself is awesome I don't have to reach with a small a** hose anymore lol. Note for other fish keepers learn from my stupidity lmao don't use a siphon hose that's meant for a 5 gallon tank on a 40 gallon tank lol it takes forever π€¦. The price was pretty good compared to some other things I sawπ€· although the net that comes with it is definitely very questionable. I feel like it would be ok for guppies but for my cichlids it's too small and feels too flimsy. Read more

Great concept, horrible execution. Either physics hates me or it requires superhuman strength to get the water into the actual tube, despite spending at least 30 minutes trying and wondering if there was some trick to it that I am simply too feeble-minded to understand. It actually worked pretty well the first time when siphoning water out of the tank, but siphoning the water back INTO the tank required me maneuvering the tube around and my wife literally holding the bucket above her head (she is much stronger than me). Just tried it again for a second water change like a week later and it straight-up didn't work. My arm is literally sore from trying to squeeze the pump trigger thing a billion times. I gave up and eventually just poured the water straight from the bucket into the tank which was a huge pain but I was fed up with trying different things like switching the hose around, seeing if the second tube fit better, using the pinching tool to physically squeeze and draw the water up through the siphon...again, I thought there must be a trick I just wasn't getting. I even looked up tutorials. While the water eventually reached the other end, it did not flow like expected and I had to keep squeezing the trigger the entire time which blurbled water out in sprays and kicked up so much sand from the bottom of the tank and now my snails are mad at me. Anyway, I'm hugely peeved off and it's too late to return this thing. It should NOT be this hard to use a product. The only good thing is the little mood-ring stick-on thermometer, that's pretty neat I guess. Read more

OK. Its not the most sturdy siphon, but I needed the extended suction tube to use this in a caiman enclosure. It does the job. It's long enough I can reach the bottom of her water. The cheap accessories were unnecessary. I would like a way to extended the drain tube, so I can run it to a nearby drain. Otherwise easy to use, but when its time to replace or upgrade, Im going to look into a python siphon instead Read more

Iβm assuming the people who left bad reviews donβt know this doesnβt start working until it starts to siphon which takes about a minute this product is fantastic and makes cleaning the tank simple. A must have. Read more
