Price to move so I trust it!
I have been in the hobby for 20+ yrs. After reading all the reviews I elected to purchase the product and edit the product to suit my needs, as I do ALL my products in this hobby! If you have boxed products for your tank that you’ve never had to alter in some way, give it time! You’ll certainly find different uses and ways to use the same products. I would recommend this product because the suction power is good as long as your water level is high enough for the tub to catch enough water to pump. I use this for emptying this nano tank of 12” high sitting on my nightstand, and a few 3.5g nano tanks in high places, and several others at different levels. I have a sump under my 200g and it fits under there well! I have to take off the extra tubs and tilt the device so the water can catch (suck) after the water gets too low. DO NOT SUBMERGE ENTIRE PRODUCT! But the product WORKS WELL! I purchased TWO! I have a lot of tanks. I do not know how long the batteries last, because I have not had to change the batteries after I changed my sump (3 tubs at the bottom of my tank with about a 10” clearing to get inside the tubs, at least 25g each) and all my nano tanks (4). It cleans well, but the sock it comes with is EXTREMELY small! It would be more helpful if it were longer. It is. Not like the filtration sock on my sump, and it gets dirty FAST! It’s safe to use with all sorts of fish because the bag can catch and release anything you accidentally catch (ie fry you didn’t notice were there), because the bag is easy to manually dislodge without accidentally coming off during use. I use a hose in the sock position (it is an interchangeable part that comes with the product) to do quick changes to expel waste really fast without a long drawn out water change, and a fast refill from a lower bucket to a higher sitting tank to slow the water flow back into the tank without a lot of pressure, or stress to the fry/fish. The water level never gets up to the battery, so hopefully this product will never fail me! The best part was the price! $8.89 was in my budget. When a product is priced to move, its a good product and the company knows people will buy more of them. Priced with the hobbyist in mind! Get 2!
