Fluval EasyVac Compact Aquarium Gravel Cleaner for Small & Nano Fish Tanks

Great item for a small tank and easy to use.

excelente producto

It was my first time using a gravel cleaner and due to some boy, I was not given the packaging or instructions. Of course said boy could not get it to work properly, blaming improper instructions. ANYWAY, a simple YouTube search yield a variety of results and after a few minutes, I got the technique down and water was flowing. There is a small learning curve for first-time siphon users. To get most of the crap (and I do mean crap) out from the gravel, giving the gravel a nice stir is helpful to release all the nasty things that have sink in over the course of the week(s). Right after you're done (or as done as you want to be), the water is going to be quite murky until everything is settle again. Do keep in mind, this is to help vacuum stuff out from the gravel- it will never be 100% clean (unless you start fresh but that is not necessarily good for your aquarium & its inhabitants). Its able to suck up a lot of particles and poo. It does not do so well with bits of fish parts (I have turtles. They eat fishes. Turtles can be messy eaters). My aquarium is cleaner, water cleaner, and turtles are probably happier. yay.

works well in my little 3gal betta tank

This is a good gravel cleaner, sucks up sludge without sucking up gravel. But it does not self start, even after I watched multiple YouTube videos about how to self start it. I have to suck syphon, and even then, it doesn't always run on the first try. Wish I had splurged for one that came with a hand pump.

Never gotten it to work and neither has my partner. Do not recommend.

This product makes it very easy to do routine maintenance on a larger aquarium. I use it for gravel cleaning and water changes on my 55-gallon freshwater tank. The siphon is not difficult to start. Once established, the flow is more than adequate for lifting the gravel part-way up the rigid tube, separating the accumulated waste and detritus from the gravel, and returning the gravel to the bottom of the tank. The waste is sucked up through the rigid piece, into the flexible tubing, and out into whatever receptacle you use to collect your waste water. There is a screen at the top of the rigid tube that prevent fish, gravel, or other large items from getting sucked into the flexible tubing and clogging it. I recommend watching your waste water receptacle closely, because it will fill faster than you might expect. This product is very useful, and makes maintaining my 55-gallon tank a breeze. Highly recommended.

I have to admit I was skeptical when I first got this product. Just put the tube in the water and shake the top until water flows? I don't have to squeeze some ball or worse? Yeah, sure. Then...it worked! This is a great size for my smallish tank. It doesn't frighten the fish and it sucks up all the goo without danger to the fish. Once in a while, a small one may get swooped up, but I just pull the tube out and let the fish and the water flow back into the aquarium. The fish is a bit confused, but unhurt. Great product at a great price. I highly recommend!
