Penn-Plax Gravel Vacuum for Aquariums | Make cleaning and tank maintenance quicker and easier (GV9)

It’s very difficult to get the water flowing, works once it does but not the best I’ve used. Good for the money!

I have a 3.5 gallon tank - I can see this working well with a big tank but with the smaller one it's really hard to get the sucking action started. Still useful, but frustrating at times.

Vacuum works great, angled head gives a good dig into gravel. Only downside is the hose is too short, needs at lease another foot or two if your aquarium sits at a normal height for viewing.

Did its job but very basic. I miss read thedescription and thought this had a pump with it. I personally find it very difficult to start the manual way.

I've hard a very hard time finding the "flared" end vacuum. This is perfect. It vacuums just the right amount of water (not too fast, not too slow) without picking up the stones. Works perfect. Thank you. This is not a manufacturer written comment. It works!

works well....also use a flour sifter to get little debris out

Works well. We use it for our 5 gallon, tall tanks with Betta and even though its a tight fit due to the narrowness of my tanks, it works well.

I only used once. Too hard to get siphoning started then once started had to stop because it filled the bucket too quick. I never got it to siphon again. The only reason I am not sending it back is because I used it. I don't like the item at all.

Can't comment on the suction power as not used it except for the tubing. Tried to use the algae scraper and it is absolutely useless! wouldn't even get glass algae off - only one corner sharp enough.

Sorry but this is useless ,it suck the water up to the top of the pump then goes back down it does not come down the tube we tried everything but it does not work

It was really hard to start and when I finally got it to go it just sucked up all the gravelJust using the plastic pipe and old fashioned siphoning.Glad it wasn’t to expensive.

Arrived fast, but vacuum attachment was broken in the shipping package, still works didn’t really buy it for the vacuum attachment.

sometimes feels like top big for a 10 gallon aquarium. but it works well and definitely helped me cleaning the aquarium.
