Python Pro Clean-Mini 1″ x 6″ Tube with 6 ft. Hose

Simple to use good quality material
Simple, made with quality material. A no nonsense way to keep a small aquarium (mine is a 10 gallon)clean. Did not stress my guppies. Works like a charm. Never left a review but this simple tool deserves it.I cant imagine needing anything else to keep my tank clean other than Larry the snail.

It works as it should.
It’s a siphon. The quality of the materials is sturdy and the hose is very supple. I’ve had another one close to ten years. It still functions perfectly. It’s a simple design really. They all do the same thing in the end.

Perfect for small tanks
I have a 10 gallon shrimp tank, I love the flexible tube, it makes it easy to control the suction flow, making it easy to clean gravel and to avoid accidentally sucking up shrimp.The long tube is a huge plus, I don’t have to worry about my tube missing my bucket ever again!Starting the siphon itself is as easy as any other siphon, I personally prefer the manual hand pumping method.It’s extremely high quality for being only a few dollars! You won’t regret buying it!

Most high quality of all siphons.
Ok. Right off the bat I bought two of these. I have many many siphons. From now these to the aqueon minis, to hyger water changing system that hooks up to the faucet (python clone) to using various ID canister filter tubing, airline tubing, co2 tubing. I use many and have used many means to clean and change water. Now I don’t run “fish tanks”. I’m an aquascaper who strictly uses high end rimless aquariums and canister filters. Plants and hardscape are the focus of my hobby. So I may or may not have fish at any given time in a scape. And that might be a small school of neons or rasboras or a Betta. Mostly I’m just plants, hardscape, and my never ending colony of Bloody Mary shrimp. So my take maybe a little different than most customers of this product.That caveat out of the way; I run aqua soil in nearly every tank with the very rare exception of an epiphyte only scape where I choose a thin layer of sand as a base, but that’s rare. You don’t vacuum aqua soil. Especially when delicate carpets are growing. That being said you still need to remove detritus from the soil without disturbing plants and roots. Basically carefully blast the soil with a baster or pipette while siphoning the kicked up detritus. I searched so hard to find the right diameter and softness of tubing to be able to do this without draining all my water before cleaning the soil. Most vacuums are too big for this. I mostly run nanos. My biggest scale is 20 gallons. I’m space limited currently. I run 20 down to as small as 2 gallons. Airline is too small to do this effectively. Others are too big. Even when controlling the flow by pinching the tubing it was very difficult. That’s where this python comes in. It is the most high quality tubing in all the siphons I purchased. It happens to be a great size for smaller tank with the perfect ID tubing for when I’m trying to clean aqua soil as I described above. Now for regular good old water changes it’s a little slow for my bigger tanks but I don’t mind bc I like to clean very thoroughly. Very rarely do I just do a water change.TLDR; it’s great quality. It’s small. Smaller than aqueon nano. The tubing is of the very highest quality as is the vacuum. It can be a little slow draining as the ID of the tubing is pretty small (can be a good or bad thing depending) for $6 it’s great and it’s a great tool added to my many. Very happy I bought two.

Very useful and easy to use product.

it does the job and it does it pretty good 😀

I loved my large python so much that I decided to try this one out for my smaller planted aquarium and boy am I glad that I did! The ad is size deceiving though, it is smaller than it looks but man is it ever good! Gets into the corners and has great suction and easy control. It’s a little pricey but it was absolutely worth it. Definitely a must for aquarium keepers!
