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.

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.
My 55 gallon fish tank has hard water how do i clean it out that won't harm fish?

I transferred my betta from a 3.7 to a 5.5 before I went on a trip to Utah. When I came back he didn’t seem very active and this has been the 3rd day he hasn’t had a appetite. I haven’t seen him swim to the top for air or anything and his fins seem to be deteriorating ,and he lost a little of his color. I sometimes ease him with the net to make sure he is alive and he moves but goes back on his side then back to laying on the bottom. anything I could do to help the poor guy? I had someone feed h
He's a full grown betta fish, I've had him for a little over half a year, adopted him from a friend. He has a filter and a heater in his tank & I try to stick with recommended products. As of the last couple months, his fins are curling up in the back and he will only eat one pellet every other day or so. I had been feeding him three pellets twice daily. Last week I started cleaning his 1 gallon tank twice a week instead of once a week, and am considering upgrading to a 2.5 gallon tank instead.
I have recently got 2 gold fish(Saturday) night ish and got a medium size tank with no pump but told that dosnt matter at first the fish would swim little and stay near the stones/ground the next day the water went green the swam around abit more but kept going to the top of the tank and looked like gulping I was so worried so I thought I’d google it just carnt find much so I thought I’d leave it another day see if anything has changed and went to look at them this morn there was bubbles at top

Hello, I have a betta and I'm sure he has moderate fin rot. Thing is I have him in a 1.1 bowl because I broke my bigger 2.5 gal tank. Ive been doing water changes and recently bought aquarium salt, bettafix, and Tail and Body Cure from API but I'm not sure how to use it in such a small tank w/o a heater... I know its such a bad environment but its not for long. I just need my betta to last a weak till I get a decent tank. Could you please give me a suggestion. I greatly appreciate your time.
Can you use sand from the beach to add to your freshwater aquarium, if its sanitize?
Hello i have a fish tank 45l with 11 fishes in it (Shubunkin , opaline gourami , honey gourami , trichogaster etc) . i added the fish a week ago and tested the water and it was fine.today i see that 2 of my Scalars aren't eating like everyone else , so i tested the water . Everything was fine except for Nitrite levels that was 3.0 - 5.0 ppm. I changed 25 % of the water and added Easy Life Filter Medium and after some hours i tested again the water quality and it was the same I also added salt
I have 2 Mystery Snails and a betta in a 3.5G tank. Tank is filtered and has a heater. One snail has not grown at all while the other has nearly doubled in size. He is lathargic and I rarely see him eat his food or even come out of the shell. His shell has turned to a dull dark brown colour and looks to be cracking a little bit. Does this sound like a water issue? Does he sound sick? What can I do to help him. In the last picture, he is the smaller snail in the front.
