Y’all are out of control. Anywho, that’s not exactly what’s happening in here. He’s just starting the syphen, getting the water far enough it stats to flow on its own.

Think they saw those videos and thought "eew give him the vaccum."

It'd happen to me all the time as a teenager 🤣

Gives new meaning to the term "eat sh*t!". This guy would probably respond with "but my fish tank is clean?".

There is a different way to start the siphon without sucking on the tube. Just put the gravel vac under water so it’s full and point it up and lift it out of the tank for a second to get the water flowing and put it back in. There are plenty of videos out there showing how to do that.

Aqueon has got your back. What a helpful company this is

I have a python that hooks straight to the sink. I absolutely love it. No priming, not buckets. Just drain what you want from the tank, flip a switch and refill without ever even moving the hose.

I thought the beginning sentence was a pickup line and I started rolling 😂

Been there, done that!! Honestly, sometimes I miss the hobby. I raised Koi for nearly 20 years. What a spectacular fish. Gave me such joy to see my babies every day.

gravel vac is so satisfying too. seeing all that gravel be sucked up and then float down nice and clean!!

Recently got a similar one from another brand! Been SO nice lol

When you get the gravel sucker….. your not a human…… YOU’RE THE GOLD FISH!!!

The first like second of the video is amazing out of context

Had to watch this 2x. I was convinced he was reading an explicitl comment

Proper gravel vacuums are awesome 🤟

I had these from jewel!! Awesome, you could make your gravel look like new, I made a Split on my pump so I could pump the water back in Best idea in my life ever ❤

When I had my 55 gal tank, this is the vac I used. But instead of a bucket, i attached a long tube to it, and the water went outside.

I have a water changing gravel vac with a priming pump and it's a life saver, even for a small shrimp tank! highly recommend.

Very useful! I used to use this for cleaning and water changes

Wow the siphon vac is pretty cool. My dad always just had a hose that could connect to the faucet in the sink. So he could siphon it out and then refill the tank usin the sink water

Upgrade to a python gravel vac. You can also use it for filling up the tank as well not just vacuum but you need a faucet within range of a garden hose but its very worth it. When filling check tank temp with a digital meat thermometer then go to faucet open valve on python(vacuum mode) adjust taps until temp from faucet is same as tank...then make sure hose end is clamped into tank and switch valve on python to fill tank....monitor progress then shut off taps and then add tap water conditioner to aquarium.

For those without a bulb... ready your receptacle, place a good amount of your recieving tubing into the water so it's water logged. Block other end of tube with palm. Pull out enough water logged tubing out so it's below tank level, then release palm blocked end into receptacle.

I have a gravel cleaner but no priming bulb. I fill the whole thing up with water in the tank, then plug the one end and put it in the bucket before I unplug the hose. Gravity does all the work and no mouthful of tank water.

Everyone needs one of these. The bulb is one of the most convenient things out there. But I do get it, it’s totally possible with just a tube lol

You could make one yourself with a few household items

You can also shake the tube to start the sython! I work in an aquarium (fish store), and it's the best thing to demonstrate to people

I have one of these makes cleaning my planted gravel aquariums so easy

They were like "we gotta sponsor this dude. He did the thing again. Someone's gotta stop him" "Do you think we'll earn money in advertising" "Not a priority!"

we use and sell these at the pet store i work at! we dont use the pump thing though we still suck the water with our mouths, but we do use the big opening for gravel tanks

You also can fill the tube with water. Cover the holes and when ready release both at the same time

Aqueon is doing gods work 😅 starting the siphon with your mouth after it’s had dirty fish poo water in it in the past was grossing me out lol

We used to use a handheld siphon (as you would use for Kerosene tanks) that we got from Walmart

. . . You could always fill the whole tube with water plug one end with your thumb, lower it below the waterline and boom. . . Siphon. I swallowed a couple of tadpoles siphoning my pool as a kid. Took a while to figure that trick out.

For anyone without a special primer button, don't use your mouth to start the siphon! Just submerge the whole hose under water and ensure all the air is out of the lines, then put your thumb over the pour spout, and leave the end in the tank, as soon as you reach your dirty water bucket remove your thumb from the hose and the water will come pouring out! No need to risk getting poopy in your mouth😂

There are actually other ways to start a siphon if you didn't know. The siphon I use is pretty much a gravel vac without the starter

I would just be careful with gravel tanks as gravel can carry a lot of beneficial bacteria in it, especially if said tanks only have like a carbon filter package for their filter. If so I would only vacuum the sections where the fish eat, or are often hiding.

I just got one of these I can’t wait to use it now.

The mouthful of water is so real

How many fish can you add to a 10 gall fish tank . I am considering getinging one but it is very expensive

@garg4531

2 ай бұрын

Depends entirely on the fish in question. It’s worth noting that most small fish need at least 20 gallons, but a 10 gallon can work well for a single betta fish, some shrimp, or a group of chili rasboras, especially with plenty of live plants to provide cover and help maintain water quality.

@Shadow-jk6ip

2 ай бұрын

10 gal is not enough for goldfish. But you can keep a single male betta in 10 gals. Or you could keep small school of rasboras like chili rasboras. Guppies can also work, if you want something more expensive and cooler, you can get an endler. You could always add shrimps into the tank if you want.

Ok thanks for the suggestion I'm having issues looking it up online and I'm really new to al this so thanks 😊

Submerge the whole tube then put your thumb on one end to keep it full of water, then just move the covered end to your bucket and let it flow.

I, too, have had to taste the tank water 🫠

Ah yes. Fish juice.

Pipet and air tube is a hygienic way too for small tank owners

I used to such a rather short tube and regularly got the water in my mouth.... Glad that is in the past now haha

You never had to suck on the tube. Fill the tube with tank water, cover the end that goes in the bucket, keep the other in the tank, let go of the end in the bucket instant siphon as long as the bucket is lower then the tank.

How did priming a siphon without a pump and without getting fish tank water in your mouth, become a lost art? Submerge tube until filled with water. Cover one end of tube with your thumb. Extract covered end, and place in bucket lower than water level. remove thumb and watch water flow through the magic of gravity.

Bros lucky to have that. Imagine if he sucked up fish poo one sleepy morning

Use water snails they eat the stuff but they do reproduce fast.

I have that exact thing it's so good

That’s so awesome

Get a drain installed in the floor so you can just direct the water right into the drain

I have this exact same siphon:0

Have you ever used a battery powered liquid transfer pump? I'm an aquarium hobbyist who's carpel tunnel gets the best of me sometimes and recently saw these but haven't made the jump to try one.

Just hold the tube under water until it's somewhat full to start the siphon. No need to spend money on tools you really don't need

These thing's are great.

Although I find it doesn't really filter the gravel. It kind of just gets clogged up

I use my old douching device for the initial suction.

Aw, bro. Just submerge the whole tube. Put your thumb over the pour end. Position the pour end over your bucket. Remove your thumb from the hole. Presto

gas siphons are literally less than $5 at your local auto store, farming store, or even walmart - every time i see someone sucking on a tube to start a siphon it makes me want to scream

TURTLE UPDATE PLEASE!!!

I don't have a goldfish tank, but go nuts I guess...

I thought that was a threat at the start 😭

I hope you did that just to illustrate the issue because not having a few bucks for a aquarium syphon it would be dad 😅😅

You will make a man supper happy one day (I had to sorry)

Nice

If you fill the pipe with water from a tap before hand, that will also start the siphon automatically

I was waiting for that just kidding when he said that😭

Just insert pipe in tap and start filling water When it starts filling remove pipe from tap It will start sucking 😅

Would this work for a sand instead of gravel?

You know you don’t need to use your mouth. Just place one side of the tube into the water and let the water goes in. Once the water is in, cover the hole on both ends of the tube. Place one end of the tube over a bucket and let go of that end and lift the other out of the water and let go of that end. Once you see the water is rushing to the bucket. Place the tube back into the water before all the water in the tube is out. It’s actually easier to do than reading my comment.

the pump only works with bigger/deeper tank I never got them to work properly for smaller tanks and the large opening makes it difficult to clean around aqua scapes

Welp, thats enough eating for the week, hope i dont get hungry

yesss this is what my bf had and we love it

Idk what happened Luke, KZread stopped recommending you to me I have to actively search you up to watch your shorts and videos😤

Promise me you will get a koi fish in your stock tank

My God I hope this is an ad, these damn things are so cheap lol

Theres atleast one fikter on the air bag, and that can becone clogged. I know this from experience. 😅

My fish's poop is fertilizer for my plants. I dont clean the poop out ever.

The only thing I gotta say is, why are you using a primer bulb on a gravel rock cleaner when all you have to do is shake the bulb under the water and it will prime itself

Stick the whole tube in the water. Cover with you thumb and pull out the tube and drain.... 😂

can we get an update on the yellow belly slider turtles

Just like a momma, sucking the boogers from their babies nose ❤😂

Funny enough the first way is still how i do it

I am traumatized if you put those firdt words out of context

My uncel still does the first one with the sucking on the tube

Welcome to the big leagues

With your mouth 🤨

I use the syphon to do water changes cuz it's less hassle

Yeah, they are great pets. But I think vampire crabs would be more suitable for him, it could be a refuge for aquatic plants.

Before the pump, you could a just filled the tube with water and thumb the hose till it was in place, not like your stealing gas out of a car

Umm...physics?

I was waiting for the “JUST Kidding” but it never came…..

I use a turkey baster to create that synction on the end of the syphon

Bro is a vacuum cleaner 💀

Would this work with gas ?

I had one of these, broke second use

Turkey baster also works

What is the at the bottom of the tank? I had that on my plants in my 100gal tank.

How do you do it without draining all the water? Thatms what I don't understand with gravel vacs
