Featuring a 6-foot flexible hose with a secure clip, it enables quick, hands-free water changes and debris removal. Its self-priming intake tube starts siphoning with a simple up-and-down motion, efficiently cleaning gravel without disturbing your aquatic pets or substrate. Lightweight and durable, this vacuum simplifies routine maintenance, ensuring a healthy, vibrant aquatic environment. ## Description Maintenance is a necessary part of good aquarium keeping. Routine water changes and pulling debris from gravel helps maintain a natural balance in the aquarium environment. Aqueon Siphon Vacuum Gravel Cleaners help to make this job easier and take less time. Just a simple up and down motion with the intake tube will quickly prime the siphon to begin water flow. Debris is pulled away with flowing water and disposed of while gravel falls to the bottom of the aquarium. Be sure to add Aqueon Water Conditioner when adding clean water to aquarium. Different siphon gravel vacuum sizes are available to accommodate all aquariums. Aqueon products offers a wide range of items so that you can build and maintain a healthy aquatic environment. All the essentials from fish tanks, filters, lighting, food, care, and other supplies that your pet fish needs. We make it easy for you to get your first aquarium and to grow in the hobby as you become more of a fish expert with every step you take and every new thing you learn. For those seasoned hobbyists, we are committed to aquarium product innovation so that we continue to offer products that get you excited. With the Aqueon brand, it's all about the fish. Review: Great value and performance - A wonderfully simple and easy to use tool for maintaining a healthy aquarium. Use this unit for both a 20 and 8 gallon aquarium. So simple, just place the hose clip on the side of your drain bucket, place the end of the hose into the clip to keep the hose from accidentally falling out of your bucket, place the vacuum tube into your aquarium and start the flow by gently shaking the tube up and down a few times until the flow starts. I pinch the drain hose to adjust the flow rate as I maneuver the vacuum tube around the substrate of my aquariums. The design of this unit also insures you do not accidentally suck up your tank inhabitants since the tube is intended to remove water and detritus from the substrate and not in the open water column. Highly recommended for great aquarium husbandry. Review: Perfect for my 40 and 55 gallon turtle tanks! - It works great! I have a 40 gallon tank and a 55 gallon tank, the 40 contains 3 hatchling turtles, the 55 contains a 1 year and 3 month old snapping turtle that I rescued. She is a pig lol makes such a mess, she's about 6 inches in diameter. Now this vacuum sucks up water nice and fast but not so fast that you can't get all the sludge out before it drains the entire tank empty. It sucks up some gravel just enough to loosen the sludge and syphon it out of the gravel then gravel falls back to the tank floor, not to mention it didn't clog up on me, not once. I am very pleased with this vacuum. I've tried others and they either empty the tank too fast, or they get clogged because the suction is too strong and it sucks the gravel ALL THE WAY UP the tube and gets clogged at the top.... (Which is extremely annoying) I've tried other vacuum's and most of them are all just terrible. Some won't even start syphoning! Even if you try and suck it through with your mouth. The size of this is perfect! The diameter of the tube opening is and inch and a half, where most others are 2 inches (unless you're using a mini) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS VACUUM FOR ANY TYPE OF AQUARIUM! Whether you have fish, turtles, whatever.... If you have no substrate on the bottom of your tank it'll work, if you have gravel substrate, great! If you have even SAND I would still recommend this vacuum. It has a powerful suction but not so powerful that it'll suck all the sand out. Hope this review helps someone! I rely on reviews just as you all do, I try to leave my most honest opinion possible to ensure you guys have something to read so you can make your purchase with knowledge of the item you're buying! ## Features - Makes routine water changes easier! - Use up and down motion to start water flow - Removes dirty water and vacuums out the debris in gravel - 6 foot flexible hose with clip for attaching the drain hose to the inside of a bucket - Includes: 6' flexible hose, self priming intake tube and hose clip - Ideal for aquariums 15 to 35 gallons ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004RK1WBK | | ASIN | B004RK1WBK | | Age Range Description | All Life Stages | | Best Sellers Rank | #73,277 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #114 in Aquarium Gravel Cleaners | | Brand Name | Aqueon | | Breed Recommendation | All Breed Sizes | | Color | Multi-colored | | Country of Origin | Vietnam | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (2,341) | | Date First Available | August 18, 2004 | | Date First Available | August 18, 2004 | | Department | Maintenance | | Department | Maintenance | | Directions | Use up and down motion to start water flow | | Included Components | Aqueon Siphon Vacuum Gravel Cleaner Medium - 9 Inches | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 6.3 x 18.3 x 1.5 inches | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 16.38 x 6.26 x 1.73 inches | | Item Weight | 0.6 Pounds | | Item model number | 100106229 | | Item model number | 100106229 | | Manufacturer | Central Garden & Pet | | Manufacturer | Central Garden & Pet | | Material | Cotton | | Model Name | Aquarium Siphon Vacuum Gravel Cleaner | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 6.3 x 18.3 x 1.5 inches; 9.6 ounces | | Size | Medium - 9 Inches | | Style | Medium - 9 Inches | | Target Audience Keyword | fish | | Warranty Description | 90 Days | ## Images ![Aqueon Aquarium Siphon Vacuum Gravel Cleaner Medium - 9 Inches - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zEXR9MVWL.jpg) ![Aqueon Aquarium Siphon Vacuum Gravel Cleaner Medium - 9 Inches - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OgbIrNNUL.jpg) ![Aqueon Aquarium Siphon Vacuum Gravel Cleaner Medium - 9 Inches - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CZJ68IGdL.jpg) ![Aqueon Aquarium Siphon Vacuum Gravel Cleaner Medium - 9 Inches - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81lxRIkvu7L.jpg) ![Aqueon Aquarium Siphon Vacuum Gravel Cleaner Medium - 9 Inches - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81HCV5pz6yL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value and performance *by L***H on October 12, 2023* A wonderfully simple and easy to use tool for maintaining a healthy aquarium.
