This is an excellent gravel vacuum. The quality is high, the price is moderate, and it works well. Best of all, it is loaded with "quality of life" features that set it apart from other, similar products. Whoever designed this vacuum knew what they were doing, because the little features (squeeze bulb start, bucket clip, flow control, etc. ) it has really set it apart from other vacuums.
If you are considering buying this gravel vac, I would say that you should, indeed get it. If you are wondering how it works in various tank sizes, it worked wonderfully in my 29 high, but was also fine in my 10 as well. I believe that it would work in most tanks up a hundred gallons, as well, although if you have nano tanks, you may want to consider the smaller version.
Pros:
-High quality (strong materials, thick tubing, etc. )
-Clip for drain bucket. The clip does a nice job of keeping the hose where it belongs so that the filth and water go into your bucket, not on the floor., which makes it easier to focus on vacuuming and prevents mishaps.)
-Squeeze bulb siphon start (the bulb starts the siphon quickly and easily.)
-Relatively small tube for more precise vacuuming (massive, oversized tubes are common, but they make it hard to clean around plants and decorations, the smallish tube allows more control and precision.)
-good suction and flow (it really can agitate and lift the gravel to suck up muck)
-flow control switch (I love it. You have such precise control of the suction that you can be sure to suck up what you want, but not what you don't want. I've used it once, and I'm already spoiled.)
Cons:
-It is fairly large, and doesn't store in a small space
-The filter has to be removed to clean it, and doing so is slightly annoying
hints
-It has very strong suction, so you will need to be careful of that the first time you use it.
-Be sure that the flow control thumb switch is open when you are starting the siphon ( it wont' start if it is closed... )
