Poor compaction quality on gravel cleaners

Mixed opinion. The length of it is great for my 90 gallon tank. However, the fit of the tube on the hose is loose, which periodically causes problems. I'll probably have to seal it myself with acrylic caulk. I sent one back because the leak was so big they couldn't get the siphon to siphon the tank at all. The replacement is an improvement but still leaking.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Some shortcomings

Great siphon but hose kinks and can break

If you don't have a Python system available I highly recommend getting one. This siphon is perfect for my breeder 75. I only have one problem with it. Hose. That is, it is very large and the hose will twist if not held tight. In addition, if the hose is damaged and bent at the top, it can tear. I solved both of those problems by going to the ace and getting a spring big enough to fit the tubing and plastic at the junction. I will recommend this for Python.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Minor issues

You may not need an extended gravel cleaning tube.

I bought a longer whistle because I thought my wife could help so she doesn't have to put her hands in the tank, or I could do it myself. When filling/emptying the sink, not enough water flows to create a sufficient vacuum and the soft hose will collapse on its own as it is now higher on the tank, creating a tighter bend radius by kinking the hose. (Python, you can add another accessory to your listing in the form of spiral hose, for example, industrial sinks need to be attached to the end of…

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • No power
