Get a 30L tank change in five minutes with one squeeze of the bulb—no mouth tasting, no bucket tipping. A single press creates a vacuum and 30 liters of cloudy water rushes into the collection bucket before your coffee finishes brewing.
Its reach of 175 cm helps pull sludge from back corners that gravity siphons miss, whether you run shallow community tanks or expansive planted setups. Choose 1.7 m for desktop tanks or 2.6 m for floor-standing installations to tailor the length to your setup.
The design offers gray or blue finishes to blend with your stand, and the slender 14 mm diameter tube glides through rocks and plants without disturbing the aquascape.
A single squeeze starts the siphon every time. Two or three pumps of the hand bulb create a vacuum that maintains flow until you open the valve, eliminating the need to prime by mouth or return water to the tank.
Built for durable weekly use, thick-walled tubing and a reinforced bulb resist kinking and fatigue. The hose coils flat for compact storage and outlasts cheaper siphons that crack after a season.
Two nozzles are included—duckbill for flat glass and a cylinder nozzle for digging through gravel—along with a fry net to keep fry, shrimp, and snails safe from suction. The system is offered in two hose lengths (1.7 m or 2.6 m) and is designed to accommodate sand, gravel, or planted substrates. Flow can be adjusted with a valve to go from gentle to full strength, enabling precise control and reducing the risk to small tankmates. A 30 L change in five minutes makes water management quick and predictable.
