Review on JZMYXA Small Tank Aquarium Siphon and Gravel Cleaner Kit - Optimal for Effective Cleaning by Sonia Hills

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nozzles are great, not enough suction for a 2 gallon cylindrical tank

PLUSES+ Nozzles+ Hose length extra long pipe under squeeze pump to drain water into a bucket on the floor+ OD/ID of standard pipes Can be combined with other products CONS - Light compression The pump suction is not strong enough - a 90 degree bracket is required to attach a rigid standpipe to a vinyl tube. I have narrowed down the siphon purchase to this and one other Revain product. Prime shipping meant I could test it first. I didn't need a coupler/additional riser for my tank - a rigid riser was enough for the height of the tank. At this altitude, the soft blue release pump just wasn't strong enough. But a good forearm workout. I had to start the siphon manually (no danger to my mouth thanks to the long hose), after that it worked perfectly. It would be easier to clean the tank bottom at angles if a 90 degree fix was not required to connect the rigid vertical pipe. I bought another product and combined the hoses and nozzles here with a gray hard pump from another set. Perfection! Much easier with a powerful squeeze pump. Water changes are a simple matter. No more manual vacuuming for me!

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Not everything fits
