Equipment needed?

Question

I need to a find gravel cleaner for my aquarium that is fairly long. I would like it to be able to be hooked up to my hose or sink faucet for the water to be put in or taken out. I don't want one of those that you suck on to start the water flowing. Every time I look online all I find is battery-operated ones or the ones you suck on. Can someone help plz? I don't shop online much for anything except computer parts.

Answer 1

the product your looking for is called a "python" it hooks up to the sink, they should have it at petco or pet smart...even walmart might have it

Answer 2

Sure its called a phython, you can get them right at walmart by aquariums, they have attachment to suck water out using your faucet, and also put it back in. Has the gravel siphon on end as well. They come with I think 20 ft of hose, and run about 35$

Answer 3

There are 2 different brands, the Python and Lees Ultimate Gravel Vac. They both do the same thing but there is a little difference, Lees comes with a fish saver cleaning claw so if you have little fish it would be better to get this one.

Answer 4

There's a brand called PYTHON - various sizes from a couple of feet to like 50 ft or more. Try drsfostersmith.com

Answer 5

Check out the "Python no spill clean and fill" here:

Never tried it, but is has recived excelent reviews. You just hook it up to your sink and off you go. No need to start the siphon, the sinks water pressure does it for you....

Answer 6

i was just at petsmart and they have them. they are called pythons as stated earlier. you can shop online at petsmart.com and petco.com for pet supplies or just go to the store.
