yueton Aquarium Water Filter Pipe Air Tube Hose Stainless Steel Cleaning Brush Flexible Double Ended Hose Brush(61inch)

This tool was a game changer for me in cleaning algae out of the tubing of my turtle tank filter. (My previous method was to twist pipe cleaners end-to-end, run it through the tubing, and hope it didn't come apart before coming out the other end.) The tool has a different size brush on each end, so it fits the flexible 5/8" tubing as well as smaller hard plastic inflow and outflow tubes. The shaft of the tool is made of tightly coiled wire that doesn't tarnish or rust. It's flexible enough to go through the curves of soft plastic tubing and firm enough to push through the hard plastic ones as well. It makes cleaning all the parts of my turtle filter much easier and faster than my previous "stone age" method.

I've had a 150g tank running for a little over a year. I could observe the visible portions of my intake and output lines getting more and more clogged, and was afraid to know how ugly the rest of the lines were. I also noticed the volume of water being cycled was quickly diminishing almost weekly. Came to Amazon in search of a fix and found this gem. The reviews seemed to be very positive, almost to the point of triggering my standard skepticism. Could something this inexpensive really clean these lines out with a single run?Fast-forward a couple weeks later and I bought a set, took down my intake/outflow lines, and put this thing to the test. Was concerned this hose brush would be too short to pull through the length of my lines, as they're rather lengthy, running from the cabinet beneath my tank, out the back, and over to the far corner. My tank is an XH (extra-tall) tank, so it requires really long lines to get up and down the glass. This thing was just long enough and seemingly perfect-sized to pass easily through my lines. The only slight pain point was the back-to-back 90-degree turns in the plastic intake/outflow pieces going over the edge of the aquarium, though it only took a few moments to find a way to maneuver the brush through. Was in absolute amazement at the amount of gunk this thing pulled out. The visible portions of my lines looked brand new and after re-assembling my lines, the system was pushing some serious water again.Equally important was how quickly/easily these brushes cleaned up. Thought for sure it was going to be a real mess getting the gunk out of the bristles, but everything rinsed right out in seconds. Honestly looked like they'd never been used.One of the least expensive purchases I've made for my tank to-date, but far and away one of the most valuable. Could not be more satisfied with this purchase. Highly recommend to any serious fish-head!

The brush is long and will have no trouble getting through the tubing I want to clean, but the bristles are rather soft and not very large, so I am not sure if it will get the gunk out. Haven't used it on aquarium tubing yet, will update after.---updateI used this to clean aquarium drain hose, both corrugated and smooth. It does a good job and it's nice and long. It takes some effort and repetition to get all the gunk out, but with this and a garden hose and a cotton rag I got the hoses clean enough to use again. Very pleased with this purchase.

This cleaning brush is the best thing in the world. I have always stressed with cleaning the hoses for my turtle tank. Turtles are messy and accumulate A LOT of filth, especially if you feed them in the tank like I have been doing. I could never get the hoses clean. I had to hook them up to the filter, prime it, and circulate water from them into a bucket just hoping it would push most of the scum out. It didn’t work that well and the second I’d hook the filter up to the tank, all of the debris would come out into the clean water.This thing saved my life. I pushed it through (which was very easy) and every bit of scum came out. The hoses looked brand new!My only complaint is it wasn’t quite long enough, but it honestly didn’t matter. Once the scum was loose, I took the brush out, ran water through and all of the yuck came right out through the other side. This brush took 30 minutes off of cleaning time! I may order a few just to have them. If you have a turtle, this brush is a MUST!

I was worried that I would never see through the rubber tubing for my filter (Turtleclean 511) ever again. The inner walls of the rubber tubes had been completely coated in brown sludge from all the debris that was cycling through the filter and tubes, which drastically decreased water flow in and out of the filter. I tried running hot water through the tubes, but the sludge just would not let go.I bought these tube cleaners by Yueton. I was actually excited to get them and clean the tubes, and I was not dissappointed! The brush slid right in the tubes with very little effort and caught EVERYTHING in its path. The stainless steel wire was also sturdy enough to push the brush from end to end of the rubber tubes, leaving no visible residue. The tubes were clear like new after 1-2 passes! That's it!If anyone is having trouble with dirty inner rubber tubes, don't look for any other product. GET THESE.P.S. - I was too excited to start cleaning the tubes that I forgot to take a "before" picture of how dirty the tubes were before I ran this brush through. Just take my word for it, they were disgusting.

Cleans well, but does not make sharp corners
