Gravel Vacuum Siphon – Medium

The medium gravel vacuum strikes the ideal balance between reach and suction for the majority of home aquariums. Its wider intake tube clears waste more quickly than a small model, while the 90cm extension tube lets the keeper stand back comfortably during water changes without straining.

The integrated squeeze-bulb starter means water flow begins in seconds with no priming effort. Once flowing, the siphon maintains a steady draw that separates light detritus from heavier substrate particles, returning clean gravel to the tank automatically.

Regular use during water changes — typically removing 20–30% of tank volume weekly — keeps nitrate levels in check and prevents harmful anaerobic pockets forming deep in the substrate. An ideal everyday tool for community and planted tanks in the 60–200L range.
