A manual siphon gravel cleaner with a primer bulb and a thumb-operated flow tap, sized by how deep your tank is. It suits a normal weekly water change, because the waste it lifts goes into the bucket you were emptying anyway. It is a siphon and not a pump, so the bucket has to sit below the tank for it to run at all.
Two sizes are stocked: Small/Medium for aquariums up to 50.8 cm (20 in) deep and Medium/Large up to 60 cm (24 in). If you would rather not carry buckets, the powered Fluval Pro-Vac Gravel Cleaner traps the waste in a filter cartridge instead.
Features
- Easy Start siphon — starts with just a couple of pumps of the bulb, so there is no sucking on the hose.
- Thumb-operated flow regulator — lets you adjust the speed as you clean.
- Gravel guard — prevents clogging and keeps substrate out of the tube.
- All substrate types — works over sand, gravel and rock, in freshwater and saltwater aquariums.
