Review on 🐠 YCTECH Automatic Aquarium Gravel Cleaner: 6 Watt Filter for Cleaning Gravel, Filtration, Pro Sand Washing, Water Changing, Sludge Extraction, and Dirt Suction - Fish Tank Sand Cleaner by Pamela Moody

Revainrating 1 out of 5

This vacuum creates a super cloudy hell for your fish

This thing seemed great, it sucked it all up in no time BUT once I was done the water started coming out the top of the filter and back into the Tank. Of course it kept all the big particles in the filter but it deposited everything else back into the tank just really well which is why it made my aquarium so cloudy I couldn't even see the decoration! It was a disaster! I thought it would filter out by morning but it didn't and I woke up to all my poor fish floating on the surface gasping for air! I had to hurry and go through every special water treatment I could, hoping I could save her by doing a 100% water change, because not a single drop of water "created" thanks to that damn electric vacuum cleaner was ever used could become. Thank god for products like Seachem Prime and Stability I was able to turn the tank on right away and put all my poor fish straight into the tank of fresh new water. It's been 3 days since I had to do all this and luckily my fish are still alive! Needless to say I threw away the electric vacuum cleaner. I only bought this thing because I couldn't get my simple siphon to work properly because the pipe was too big for my tank, but I bought a mini siphon and I just need to get it working! Don't waste your time and money, this thing is very messy and almost made me kill my entire Glofish aquarium (and at least two dwarf frogs) with my little ones!
