Python PRO CLEAN - EXTRA LARGE (for tanks to 55 Gallons)

I have owned one of these for 45 years, until finally the hard tube broke. The hard tube that you put inside of the fish tank is 24" inches long. The flexible tubing is 72" inches long. This device works great. Beware most of these reviews don't know what they're talking about.

Works as designed...Makes vacuuming substrate and water draining much easier...

After spending far too many hours trying to figure where the settings were to get it to boost my WiFi signal, I just gave up. Thinking what am I going to do with this thing now, I stared at it and wondered if it might be useful for cleaning my 100 gal water garden. I mean, what else am I going to do with it, right? Surprisingly, it worked. In fact, if you didn't know otherwise, you'd think it was made for such a purpose. The unexpected thick tubing and incredibly long intake tube moved a lot of water fast. Wicked fast. And it was not difficult to get it siphoning water. I didn't even need to plug it in or anything. Not that I could find any directions where to attach a power cord. Mine seemed to be missing that. But it was great! The entire system, or hose, I guess, seems very durable and rugged and well built. So I am very pleased. I still need a way to boost my home network signal, but until then I can make the fishes' lives a little better.

Inaccurate website description. Nowhere is the tube length specified in the text. And is is 27" long, enough for a 120 or 150 gallon tank, not for 55-gallon tanks. Look at my picture of the tube on my 60-gallon tank, a few inches taller than a 55-gallon. The tube is too long and hard to use. My old siphon had a tube about 10" long, and that is Python's LARGE size.

I really like this siphon. I have a 50 gallon aquarium that is about 18-20 inched deep. The long vacuum tube on this siphon enambles me to vacuum without getting my hands wet, except...to start it, you need to submerge it in the tank. That is the manufacturer's recommendation and really the only practical way to fill it with water to get the siphon started. It does a nice job of pulling up the junk from the bottom. It will pull gravel up to the top of the tube so it needs a tap on the bottom to dislodge the mass of gravel. As soon as I push it through the gravel to the bottom of the tank I can see a black cloud of organic material float up. Very good siphon!

I don't usually write reviews. I ordered the siphon and it arrived today and I used it immediately. It was very easy to start a siphon even though it does not have anything special to get it going and the hose is flexible enough to make it easy to use. I cleaned the 75 gallon fish tank in half an hour thanks to this product.

Use multiple similar products. This one is a keeper. Easy to use

Work just fine. But my only issue is that this was advertised with 6’ of tubing and if fell short of to about 5 feet. I guess the 2” tube cover the missing extra foot of tubing. Using this on my 150 and it work well, I bit slow on getting water out for a water chance but this give me a chance to going around the whole tank and get all the debris out.
