About this deal

Full disclosure: Gravel vacuums are little more than a tube and hose, a design repeated by every brand tested. Because of this, all gravel vacuums tested were able to both clean gravel and siphon water to some degree of effectiveness. The standard-sized opening on a gravel vacuum is 1 inches (2.5 cm) and is suitable for aquariums up to 5 gallons. An alternative would be an electric pump on the end of a hose to get the water lifted to a higher elevation, say to dump into a sink. This is a solution you would have to rig up yourself, and would be complicated.

There are four different water changer kits available, and the only difference between them is the length: By placing the tube end of the gravel vac over your substrate, you can vacuum all this gunk away, keeping your tank neat and tidy. Me? I want to spend as little time maintaining my tank as possible. It leaves me with more time to stare at my lovely little fish. This brand is also great in eliminating incidents of spills where you would naturally need to drain the tank in a manual mode with the use of water containers only to suffer from a lot spills to deal with. Python seems to be more compact than the Aqueon. Like Lee’s Ultimate Gravel Vac, if the Marina Aqua Vac was more affordable, these minor flaws would be less of an issue. But at this price, it competes directly with the Python water changer, and the decision between the two is a no-brainer. Deep Blue Hydromaxx Water Changer

To recap, this gravel vacuum comes with nearly all the things that you especially require to siphon untidy water directly from your fish tank and into the kitchen sink. This tool aids in making it a lot easier to drain and refill your aquarium during cleaning since it comes complete with a faucet adapter, 11” vacuum head, a hose and a water flow valve.

The only thing that Aqueon beat Python on is price. Unfortunately, it came at the cost of quality. Do you need a Python water changer? Despite this, the hose that came with the Deep Blue Hydromaxx was perhaps our favorite of all the water changers we tested. No matter how much you kinked, twisted or stomped on the hosing, it returned to its original state in seconds. Thus, this detritus needs to be eliminated the soonest as you detect a piece of it inside the tank. You may execute this by using a tank water changer or gravel cleaner.

If you find cleaning your aquarium relaxing (you wouldn’t be the first!) and like to take things slowly, then this might not be an issue at all.
