Python Pro Clean-Mini 1" x 6" Tube with 6 ft. Hose

I have a 10 gallon planted tank I neglected so the mulm had built up out of control. I needed something powerful but small. I was worried about clogging but this thing tucked up everything! Except the sand. Sand rolls around and drops. It is small, which I wanted, but just so you know. For me that was helpful getting around the plants. The suction tube is glass and the outflow tube is pliable, long and sturdy. I wish I had bought this before the last three. Skip the fancy ones with pumps (I learned from experience). This was perfect.

I have a fluval flex 9 and 15. This is the perfect size for these tanks. The suction is enough to clean the tank bottom and because the tube and vacuum are quite small, I'm finding that I have time to clean the entire bottom before it drains more the the 15% of the water out. I had a bigger one before but had to work really quick as it drained so quick. It's perfect and made well too. If you have anything over I'd say a 20gal it would be to small.

I bought the mini version for my 25litre tank- it's a tall tank so siphoning the gravel isn't easy but it's not that difficult either and I wouldn't swap this size version for a bigger one.Since the tank is on a cabinet and above the bucket I siphon the dirty water into, i put the siphon head into the tank then suck the tube on the other side. as soon as the water starts coming down i put the tube into the bucket- it didn't take me long to get the hang of it.The tubing itself is made from exceptional quality- it's thick and strong.The siphon head doesn't have a lining to stop fish or shrimps getting picked up and trapped, but the 'neck'? of the plastic siphon is incredibly narrow and actually when siphoning the fish don't like to get near me anyway so i'm not worried they'll get hurt.One issue i do have though is if i don't pull the siphon up fast enough and too much gravel gets lifted up, occasionally bits of gravel will get sucked up too far. they then get stuck in the neck part of it and it stops the water flow. I then have to separate the tubing from the siphon head to release the bits of gravel and then reconnect them, and 9/10 times this will mean I have already broken the water flow and have to restart the process. This is my only issue and it's partly due to my own error anyway, so I would still buy it again if I needed to.One question I do have is that some parts of the tubing had originally gone a dark green colour, which I assumed was from me just forgetting to wash the inside with clean water. It now got a few PINK/RED patches, again on the inside, and this time I have no idea what's caused it. I don't have any red tinted plants in the tank. It may be bacteria, I don't know... but it hasn't gone yet. I'm not that bothered by it as I only use the siphon to take dirty water out and not fresh water. This is just something to bare in mind.Python is an exceptional brand and definitely worth the money. The mini version I bought is at a very reasonable price and cheaper than some of the other branded siphons that are also on sale on amazon and are not built nearly as well.This is a simple yet very effective product.

For extremely small tanks only like 20 gallons or less or a fish bowl.Nothing great interms of efficiency and usage just average, not worth the cost.Buy bigger size if tank is about 55 gallons.
