Easy to use and effective for cleaning substrate. The extendable cover helps in larger tanks. The filtering net keeps my fish safe. Works well with my 120cm hose setup.
Tracey Bell –
Good flow control and the hose holder stays in place. The cleaning process is smooth and doesn’t disturb the fish. Slight adjustment needed for the cover length in very deep tanks.

I’ve used this for two months now and it’s still performing well. The adjustable flow is helpful when cleaning different areas of the tank. No fish have been sucked in thanks to the net.
