Works well.Jul 10, 2010
By Louise
This is my first aquarium cleaner since I'm new to the hobby. I didn't like the idea of putting my mouth on a hose, so I thought I'd give this pump-action one a try. It was easy to use and did the job well. It took only a few pumps to get the water flowing out of the tank and into a bucket, and it seemed to do a good job of cleaning the gravel as well. I used it on a 10-gallon tank made by another company. I would recommend this item.

 No more doo!Apr 30, 2010

This pump takes a few good, hard squeezes to get it going, but then it works quickly. Good suctioning of the fish doo-doo and surprised me how fast my tanks emptied. I had to be real careful on the 1 gallon one!

Makes aquarium cleaning a breeze!Dec 30, 2009
By Gwen
I used to have a regular siphon to clean my tank and I had a hard time getting it to start at first (I had to learn how to use it through a few YouTube videos). But this siphon makes it SUPER easy! All you have to is pump it a few times and it starts! And honestly, I HATE cleaning my aquarium...but now I don't mind anymore!

Easy to use and decent jobJul 17, 2011
By Johnny-X
I bought this to use on a regular 10 gallon (non-BiOrb) tank. It's a lot easier than my old gravel vacuum to get the water started. I also bought a 5 gallon bucket at Walmart to use with this cleaner. I just siphon the water into the bucket right below, which makes cleaning a piece of cake. Then, I re-use the water by watering my plants and trees outside because I figure there should be some nutrients in it (I could be totally wrong though, never researched it).
It's definitely not as powerful as my old standard gravel vacuum. This is mainly because there is a plastic "net" on the gravel end which prevents gravel from entering the tube. The problem I have is that the gravel sticks to the net when water is flowing and obstructs the hole for the nasty stuff to go in. I just have to shake the hose a lot to make the gravel fall off the pump. Overall, this pump does a pretty good job and is very easy to use.

Elementary school science doesn't work in real life!Apr 19, 2009
By DonGiovanna
"Viva il Maestro"
It all started when my son brought home a 12-cent goldfish ... $80 of fish equipment later, it was finally time to perform some water change. I first bought a normal siphon from the pet store but, despite following directions to the T, the water never did start flowing and, instead, dredged up tons of debris from under the rocks. I was getting desperate. I decided to give the BiOrb siphon a try, even though we don't have a BiOrb tank. It works like a dream! It takes only a couple of squeezes of the pump to get the water flowing. Changing the water is now a pleasure, rather than the dreaded chore it once was. Worth every penny!
