Questions
Would it work for a 30 gallon tank?
- Yes, this device works for a 30 gallon tank. We are using it for our 30 gallon tank.
Helpful?
will this work on sand?
- I don’t have sand. Did NOT work in my gravel. You have to push up and down to get it to work. I pushed up and down and up and down and on and on and it did not siphon. It went in my garbage. The best siphon is one with a bulb to squeeze.
Helpful?
Can this be used to fill a tank after a water change?
- Unfortunately this item cannot be used to refill your aquarium after a water change. I would recommend the Python brand product to accomplish what you are asking about.
Helpful?
is this good for a 10 gallon or is it to small?
- This would work perfectly.
Helpful?
Which one should I get? I have a 10 gallon tank with a 9 and a half inch height. Thank you!
- Medium
Helpful?
Is this size ok for a 15 gallon. Would it be too small/
- In my opinion this would be a perfect size as a vacuum as well as a siphon. I’ve been using mine for over three years in a 20 Gal. tank every week for water changes.
Helpful?
Will this work for a 2 1/2 gallon tank?
- You betta be fast! For our small tank, it takes the water level down very quickly and there's not enough time to get the waste on the bottom sucked out.
Helpful?
What is the inside diameter of the hose? I am looking for an inside diameter of around 3/8 inch.
- It is 3/8". You are in luck!
Helpful?
Is it possible to buy a primer pump thing separately?
- Yes, you may purchase that directly from Aqueon at https://centralspareparts.com/collections/aqueon/products/aqueon-water-changer-gravel-tube. Retailers generally do not carry the part.

Is this tank big enough/small enough to hold goldfish fry (these fish will not be in it we are just cleaning up there other tank)
Hey! I have a empty 5.5 and I planned on getting a baby betta the brand is Topfin. and I was just curious about the filter on it and if you think it would be to tough and blow the betta around or suck it into the filter. I also heard that Smaller Bettas are recommended live food but I don’t know how to raise anything like vinegar eels, microworms, etc.
We have four cardinal tetras, three glo danios, three glo tetras and a albino Cory cat. They are all the type to only get an inch to two inches long and so we have them in a twenty gallon tank. Have gravel and silk/plastic/resin/and live plant/decor and proper filter/heater/air. Also have changed filter once a month, siphoned 25% water/debris out every two weeks using water conditioner but don't know why we have murky water and how to remedy this...
I just purchased Imagitarium Ammonia-Reducing filter media cubes from Petco and there are no instructions for how to use. I have a 5 gallon tank with a submerged Built-in filtration system how many cubes do I use and how do I put them in my filter? Please provide the instructions thank you for your time.
how do I change the ammonia, nitrates in my aquiarium
I have two gold fish that live in a 55 gal tank. The water is clear, but brown starts to accumulate on the inside of the glass, and on the ornaments in the tank. I have been using a few different water treatments, the water is clear. I use a sponge tank scrapper to get it off of the glass, but the ornaments are all covered with brown. Is there a fish or something else that would clean that stuff up?
I went on vacation and put a vacation feeder in the tank when I came home his tank was a sandy color. After cleaning his tank complete I put him back in and after that he hasn't been the same going on a week with out eating. What did I do wrong? Now I have bought a different tank and rocks, add water and a water heater and added stress coat. Is there anything else I can do to help he's breathing really fast? I have seen a change since I've put him in the other tank, he is swimming more.
I have a 20 gallon tank. I'm thinking of buying +5 fish. Which fish could I buy and what would I need for the fish and tank?
I recently got my goldfish (very small) and I put him in a 5 gallon tank (new tank with conditioned water and filter). He swims around very fast and up and down the tank walls. When I feed him flakes, he chews really quickly and then spits it out. I can’t tell if he actually eats anything. The ammonia levels are a little high (3.0) so I put in some ammonia fixer. All the other tests seem normal. Is there anything else I can do?
Hi I'm looking to buy a male Betta in the next couple weeks and keep him in a 5 gallon tank by himself. I had a Betta several years ago and remember the hassle of changing the water, so this time around I was looking to buy a filter. What would be a good filter for my situation and how would I set it up? After installing a filter, what would the upkeep of the tank look like? Will I ever need to change the water or use purifying agents?
Please help!! I have a 5 gallon fish tank starter kit. Water conditioner. Thermometer. And it has a filter. I have bought 3 gold fish all from Walmart. (I know bad idea) and all have died 1 first day. 2nd one the next day. And the third is dying currently :( they swim by the filter and float then have a hard time breathing it looks like and then die. My autistic 5 yr old is devistaed and I don't know what I could be doing wrong. I did research and research and more research!! Help:(
My goldfish has blood in his find. I searched what it could be and found a website that took me it was ammonia poisoning or something and I just needed to clean his tank. He's 8-9 years old and I got him from Mejier. I came home from school today to find him floating on his side. He let's me reach in and grab him and I noticed that his entire back side from his anal fin to tail was losing scales. He is in a 20 gallon tank with another goldfish, 2 plecos, and an albino shark. He has a filter+air
