Not your typical fish siphon - see photos

I would just like to start off by saying that prior to using this product I have only ever used a regular suction end, a type of fish siphon. At the same time, starting with a pump was an amazing invention for me. It only took about 10 quick button presses and the water started flowing through the hoses, which was faster than usual, and I didn't feel the need to brush my teeth afterwards either. What initially bothered me about this product was the whistle. Again, the only siphons I've ever used are hard vinyl tubing, these tubing are more rubbery and flexible. Something great I realized after a few minutes of using this product was that since the hose is very flexible, I can easily squeeze the hose to stop the water flow, rather than bending my finger halfway at the end. hose all the time. Another aspect of this siphon that I have never come across is the pre-inlet filter. I personally only use real rocks in my aquarium, but I can see that anyone using brightly colored plastic rocks will love this feature as you never have to worry about picking up rocks again. In the worst case, they just fall into the filter and flow back into the tank! The last thing I want to say about this product is the attachments. Unfortunately I have shrimp in all of my aquariums so I haven't been able to test how well the algae scraper works but I will say it is a solid, low profile design that I trust I can apply the same pressure to without hesitation exercise the aquarium glass . . Another accessory is a reducer, which came in handy when I was cleaning tanks with shrimp fry. My only Neocaridina reservoir hasn't been empty in months because I'm afraid to suckle on baby shrimp, but with the adapter, the bottom of the siphon becomes smaller than the tip of my pinky. Between the tiny end of the siphon and the bridge to stop the flow, I was able to conveniently clean my Neocaridina aquarium without sucking in the tiny baby shrimp. Overall the product is 11/10 and I have already personally recommended this product to my aquarium friends who I speak to often.
