Python Gravel Cleaner, Medium

Got this as was fed up of my smaller syphon taking too long to clean the tank.This offers a much larger cleaning area reducing the time. I added a hose attachment to the end with some garden hose meaning I can run it straight to my water butt.Only downside is if you get a small fish/ shrimp in it there isn’t really anything stopping them making the full journey out of the tank.However can be rectified with some mesh fabric used inside or on the end of the syphon.

Does the job of cleaning aquarium gravel very well. We have 140 litre tank and it's more than adequate for that. The syphon is quite big and you need quite a bit of space to move it around the tank so make sure you have the space.

Best gravel vacuum I have ever used.

Good

Great piece of kit does exactly what u need it to do .... although u have to get the suction going with ur mouth so timing is a must unless u want a mouthful of water

Hadn't seen one of these before reading up on how to clean the gravel in my tank. Delighted with the product, well made and gets the job done.

It makes it easy to keep an aquarium clean.

Excellent quality as described ...nice wide tube for coverage when cleaning gravel...no need for the mid hose pump..if your looking for a aqarium gravel cleaner...this is the one !!

I bought this to clean my fish tank rocks. I use it for a 55 gallon tank. I like that it’s not super long but long enough to do what I need to. Works well you just have to make sure you get the air bubbles out to get it to suction. Once it gets going it does a great job and quickly.

Tough to get started but works very well.

This thing is a beast! I have a 30 gallon tank and this Python Vacuum cleans things out very quickly but also takes a lot of water with it. By the time I've vacuumed most of the poop out I've lost a few gallons of water, but that just reduces all the additional water changes I'd need to do. It's fairly easy to use, just submerge it in the water and try to get as much air out of each end of it as you can. Set up you BIG bucket and let it flow! I have a blood parrot cichlid who isn't bothered at all by it so cleaning is a snap. I used to have the Python that attached to a faucet so cleaning was a bit easier, but given that this was significantly cheaper, I'm very happy with its performance. Finn and I give it two fins up!
