I bought it for a 3 gallon aquarium, but it removed too much debris for such a small tank. However, it works great in the 10 gallon aquarium. (I bought a turkey baster to use for cleaning the 3 gallon aquarium. It works great for any nano tank.) Review: Most high quality of all siphons. - Ok. Right off the bat I bought two of these. I have many many siphons. From now these to the aqueon minis, to hyger water changing system that hooks up to the faucet (python clone) to using various ID canister filter tubing, airline tubing, co2 tubing. I use many and have used many means to clean and change water. Now I don’t run “fish tanks”. I’m an aquascaper who strictly uses high end rimless aquariums and canister filters. Plants and hardscape are the focus of my hobby. So I may or may not have fish at any given time in a scape. And that might be a small school of neons or rasboras or a Betta. Mostly I’m just plants, hardscape, and my never ending colony of Bloody Mary shrimp. So my take maybe a little different than most customers of this product. That caveat out of the way; I run aqua soil in nearly every tank with the very rare exception of an epiphyte only scape where I choose a thin layer of sand as a base, but that’s rare. You don’t vacuum aqua soil. Especially when delicate carpets are growing. That being said you still need to remove detritus from the soil without disturbing plants and roots. Basically carefully blast the soil with a baster or pipette while siphoning the kicked up detritus. I searched so hard to find the right diameter and softness of tubing to be able to do this without draining all my water before cleaning the soil. Most vacuums are too big for this. I mostly run nanos. My biggest scale is 20 gallons. I’m space limited currently. I run 20 down to as small as 2 gallons. Airline is too small to do this effectively. Others are too big. Even when controlling the flow by pinching the tubing it was very difficult. That’s where this python comes in. It is the most high quality tubing in all the siphons I purchased. It happens to be a great size for smaller tank with the perfect ID tubing for when I’m trying to clean aqua soil as I described above. Now for regular good old water changes it’s a little slow for my bigger tanks but I don’t mind bc I like to clean very thoroughly. Very rarely do I just do a water change. TLDR; it’s great quality. It’s small. Smaller than aqueon nano. The tubing is of the very highest quality as is the vacuum. It can be a little slow draining as the ID of the tubing is pretty small (can be a good or bad thing depending) for $6 it’s great and it’s a great tool added to my many. Very happy I bought two. ## Features - Effectively separates and removes debris from your aquarium - Constructed with flexible, high quality tubing - Easy-to-use Gravel Washer & Siphon Kit - Separates and removes debris from your aquarium ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 4,059 Reviews | ## Images ![Python Pro Clean-Mini 1" x 6" Tube with 6 ft.

If so, not for me. Any other suggestions. Thanks!** A: No, you do not need to use your mouth to siphon:) Just your hand and follow the instructions in the package. There are also you tube videos showing how to use it. **Q: Will this work on a one gallon tank?** A: Yes it will, it will be a tight squeeze but will do the trick **Q: How do you get the vacum part to start?** A: Directions come with the kit. You submerge the entire tube and let out air bubbles. Lift tube end and hold it lower than tank water level and it immediately starts draining. If not, you simply move the larger part up and down in the tank. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use. Best for a 5 gallon or larger tank *by B***K on June 29, 2026* Works like a charm!!!

I had two things working against me -- one was not much elevation difference. The second was that the opening inside is smaller than I expected, so my debris kept clogging the hose. After using it for about 20 minutes while refilling the basin with a hose, I gave up on my idea of using this to clean out my basin. Oh well, $4 gone. But then the next day I noticed the water was much, much clearer in my fountain. So though I may well buy another for the "get the debris out" purpose, this did work well to actually change out the water and make things cleaner. Also, it was very easy to get the siphon going using the "fill the tube up and let gravity do the work" method, per some of the questions answered in the section here. For $4, this is definitely worth a try, if only as an addition to your other solution. Materials and quality were as expected, and the flexible tube fits the main suction tube tightly. ## Frequently Bought Together - Python Pro Clean-Mini 1" x 6" Tube with 6 ft.
