What a treat this is — a gravel cleaner designed to be powered by either an FX4 or an FX6 Fluval canister, writes Nathan Hill. There’s no valves or clamps to use as flow control. It’s full bore or nothing with this one; the only way to slow things down would be to kink the hose.

It was super easy to get this vacuum started. One or two squeezes of the priming ball and water will come rushing out of this thing.

All of the goods listed above are excellent choices, and you may make your final decision based on your own particular tastes. An aquarium vacuum, although not the first thing that popped to mind when getting fish, but it’s one of the aquarium cleaning tools that you’ll use the most. Electric gravel vacuum cleaners: Electric gravel cleaners are the second variety you’ll come across. They are battery-operated and come in 2-in-1 varieties.

Electric gravel cleaners are easy to set up, and all you have to do is place them upright so they can begin to remove gravel. The disadvantages of utilizing electric gravel cleaners include the need for batteries, higher costs, and vibration/sound. Fish constantly put out waste in the form of urine and feces. These wastes sink to the bottom of the tank where they accumulate. To find out which is the best aquarium vacuum cleaner, I bought 6 of the most popular choices and tested them out across my 5 tanks by doing my weekly water changes. And, if you’ve got a bare bottom tank, it’s super easy to just use a gravel vac to go along the bottom and get up whatever wastes have accumulated there.
