PYTHON No Spill Water Changer, 7.5 m ( Brass Adaptor Not included )

Product Information

Despite this, the hose that came with the Deep Blue Hydromaxx was perhaps our favorite of all the water changers we tested.

While a few trips back and forth were required, I didn’t need to make the trip hauling a heavy bucketthrough my house, which was a lovely change. Simply net if any trapped shrimps and/fish from bucket and put straight back into their tank, no need to temp match water or anything like that, they’ll be fine to go straight back to tank. The larger gravel vac is used to clean open areas of gravel, while the small one is used to clean between plants. While this admittedly made cleaning in the corners of the test tank an easier task, the offset location of the hose appeared to catch gravel, requiring manually unclogging it on more than one occasion.Many of these water changers come with a big gravel tube at the end so you can easily change the water in your fish tank while also sucking out small organic waste from the gravel.

If you have been fishkeeping for a while, then you will be unsurprised by my top pick for tiny tanks, the Python Pro-Clean.The Oscar in question was a notoriously messy eater, with the majority of the food falling to the gravel.

When I tighten, I make sure that the ‘tee’ that the hose attaches to is pointed in a direction where the hose can be attached. So, Lance created the Python No Spill Routine Aquarium Maintenance System– a handy device that allows you to empty and refill your aquarium with ease. With this handy device, you can clean your gravel while water is sucked out of your tank and emptied directly into your sink.While my recommendations above outperformed, the following gravel vacuums fell short in one way or another. You could have a really good filter combined with a great protein skimmer, but sometimes that still just is not enough. When I had everyone at my local fish club weigh in, the results feedback was unanimous – the python gravel vacuums far outperformed the Aqueon, which actually has the exact problems you list (among many others.
