Questions
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.
Reds's aquarium is so very cloudy. Can't see turtle til she surfaces! Don't know what caused this or what to do. Ordered vacuum but it won't be here until Friday. Please Help. Put in stuff for ammonia.
can i have a cherry shrimp in a 5 gallon tank with my blackmoor goldfish? or should i have at least a 10 gal? or no shrimp at all?
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.
So I've been thinking about getting an axolotl, but I'm a bit confused as I've never had any type of aquarium. My question is: I've been told to get an Aquaclear 50 HBO filter (plus a sponge one for extra bio media), and to slow the flow by placing plants and things under it. But this specific model's slowest flow is 250 l/h, which might be too little for a 90l tank. But if I set it up to 370 or so (which I find would be the best), the flow might be too strong for the axie! Any solutions? <3
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
If I have a 1-gallon tank for 1 betta fish how long do I keep my filter on? My filter is GPH is adjustable.
We have a large 5-year-old goldfish. I was walking by his aquarium (he's in a 20 gallon, but we are almost ready to transfer him to a 55 gallon), and he had an explosive poop! I've never seen him do this. What should I do?
