Python No Spill Clean and Fill Aquarium Gravel Tube, 24-Inch

The Python No Spill Clean and Fill Aquarium Gravel Tube is a useful tool for aquarium owners looking for an efficient way to clean their tanks. With a length of 24 inches, it provides ample reach for most tanks, although it may be too long for smaller aquariums. The tube can be connected to the original Python system hoses, allowing users to extend the length of the tube. However, it cannot be connected to the rigid gravel tubes. Customers have found the gravel tube to be effective in cleaning their tanks, even in tanks as small as 10 gallons. Some users have mentioned the need to add a piece of mesh over the tube opening to prevent small critters from being sucked up. The tube works well with the Python system, as long as the faucet has a screw-on aerator. There have been mixed reviews regarding the length of the tube. While some users have found the 24-inch length to be cumbersome, especially in taller tanks, others have found it to be sufficient. One user mentioned that the longer tube does not allow heavier debris to make it all the way to the hose due to a lack of velocity. One downside of the Python No Spill Clean and Fill Aquarium Gravel Tube is that it does not have a check ball for easy siphoning. However, customers have found that the vacuum created by the faucet being on is enough to pump the water out. Overall, the Python No Spill Clean and Fill Aquarium Gravel Tube is a useful tool for aquarium owners looking for an efficient and convenient way to clean their tanks. It is compatible with the Python system and can be used in tanks as small as 10 gallons. However, the length of the tube may be a drawback for some users.
