Works very well with a few pumps to start the flow. I purchased a different smaller model previously that was terrible and required constant squeezing to maintain the suction. This one is far superior. My daughter loves to use it which makes cleaning the tanks much more enjoyable.

Amazon Customer: Product is exactly as described so it’s more my fault for ordering it when my tank is too narrow (fluval edge 50l) Find it hard to navigate in and around decorations so not for me.

Tehmur: Bought this product because I have a 75 Gallon Fish tank that I have my turtle named Franklin in. I have a self-feeder and a relatively industrial-sized filter to clean the tank, but the tank was getting almost a nasty yellow tint, and thought my turtle would be dead in days. To my surprise, my greedy little turtle doesn't eat the food pellets and a large number of food flakes pile at the bottom, which I believed to be the problem. I originally bought a hose to take all the tank water out, but that didn't work. So I went ahead and bought this product and it works exactly as advertised. It got the job done and helped clear almost 80-90% of the crap on the bottom of the tank. I Will have to use it often, but as soon as I removed the remnants of food and replaced the water, the tank looked much better. I would suggest buying for anyone that needs to get stuff out from the bottom of the tank without having to suck all the water out. Unfortunately, it does also suck a lot of water out, but replacing that water with new water will probably do your aquatic specimens some good.
TLDR; worth it to suck the remnants of food and crap off the bottom of your tank. Quick and Easy.

Jbradon: Just used for the first time today, and I’m very happy with it! Initially I thought it was going to be too small for my 55 gallon tank, but it was perfect. I gave it 4/5 stars for suction, because the suction is a touch weak and I’m sure some folks won’t be happy with it, but I personally like it’s strength. It’s strong enough to remove the detritus but the flow is slow enough where it offers me a lot of control. This way I can focus the vacuum on the dirtier parts of the gravel and do some “detailed” cleaning without turning around every 3 seconds fearing my bucket is full.
It comes with tubing clamps, which were super useful. Clamp down the tubing when you have to dump your bucket, open the clamp again and it restores suction without having to prime the vacuum again. And the little priming mechanism worked perfect. Press the accordion-like mechanism half a dozen times and you’re in business. Beats having to submerge the entire tube and all the hose to create the vacuum (all the while scaring the HELL out of your fish).
I’m completely happy and I don’t dread a water change anymore!!!

RLewis: I have used this sand cleaner several times now and found it to be 100% worth the money. The long tube is perfect for the height of my 3ft tall 160G tank. (It can be trimmed to fit for shorter tanks.) It is plenty long enough to reach to the back places in my tank. The diameter of the tube, about an inch, is just the right size to slip into tight spots for a good cleaning. The soft silicon drain tube supplied is very flexible and makes the cleaning process super easy because you are not dealing with a stiff drain tube like other cleaning kits. I find that I can easily control the suction with a little pinch of the soft drain tube in one hand while working the cleaning tube with the other. I pinch the tube just so to allow good draw on the sediment while allowing the sand to settle back. I could not be more pleased with the results. I find I am able to easily control sand scattering; thus making the cleaning a very controlled process without leaving sand all over the corals. The pump on the end of the tube works very well, a few pumps gets the flow going. The kit comes with a drain tube clip and a spare. The clip is super handy for holding the drain tube in the waste water bucket....

SpunkyLabreche: This is our second pump we've purchased, our first one worked quickly but broke after just a few uses. So I bought this one hoping spending a little more would give a better product.
Pros:
This has great suction, I was able to clean the gravel. The hose will suck up the gravel but the food and water will filter through and drain out. When the hose starts to fill with gravel, you just need to squeeze the bulb quickly and hard and it will blow it back out.
Easy to use, just have to squeeze the bulb quickly in order to get a good suction, once it gets through the hose and through the pump and starts emptying out the other hose, you can just leave it alone and it will drain out.
The clips are wonderful. I hooked them on my fish tank and onto the bucket and just let it drain. This was so helpful, other pumps, without the clips, always flip out and spill water onto the ground, its nice to be hands free.
Cons:
If the water that you are draining into is higher, equal or just under what you are suctioning from, it drains really slowly. I had to hold the bucket over my head to get a quicker suction, this was after it stopped suctioning a few times and I...
