boxtech Fish Tank Water Changer Vacuum Siphon Kit

I purchased this kit in 2024 to use on a 60L Biorb aquarium for cleaning/water changes, after previously using a much cheaper siphon that failed within a year of use, the overall quality of the parts are brilliant and feel way superior to my last siphon and are made to last, with particularly reference to the squeezable bulb to get the water flowing, a quick squeeze or two and the water starts flowing quickly and without much effort. The kit comes with all of the parts that you would need for different sized aquariums. Fast forward to 2026 and after purchasing a larger aquarium, I needed to use the extension pipe to reach the bottom of my deeper tank, but had unfortunately misplaced the connector part and couldn’t find it anywhere, after a quick message to boxtech asking if I could purchase the missing part separately, not expecting much hope and fully expecting the need to purchase another full kit, but to my delight they immediately identified the part that I needed and shipped one out to me free of charge, even after my purchase 2 years ago! excellent customer service indeed! I am very impressed by the product and the level of customer service that I have experienced, buy with confidence and add one to your basket today!

Absolutely brilliant the water change has never been so quick or so easy the hose is easy to assemble, easy to use does a great job and was a good price I've purchased more expensive water changers that haven't worked this well or this fast it literally emptied a over a 3rd of the tank in a couple of minutes removing algae and waste efficiently .

Good little kit

This is the best gravel cleaner I've used,and I've three others.So simple to use, the bulb to start the syphon two squeezes and away you go.Slight down side, could do with a strainer to stop gravel being drawn into the bucket,but a squeeze on the hose cuts suction pressure and the gravel drops out of the pick up end.All in all a great tool even more so at the price. Fully recommend

Cleaning the fish tanks is a real chore. We have a 60l and a 30l, and need to do a partial water change every week or two weeks. Recently I've been finding myself putting it off more and more because it's such a chore with the old "jiggle-up-and-down-to-start" siphon. Then, a few weeks ago, the ball in the old siphon started sticking 'open', so the vaccuum didn't form when jiggling, so I decided to replace it. I tried a squeezy siphon when we got the tanks many years ago, but it was rubbish. However, this one seemed to get good reviews, so I paid a little more and got it. Assembling it was nice and easy. Didn't need to read the instructions. The length of tubing is far too long for what I need it for, but if your tank is on a shelf and the bucket is on the floor, it's perfect. Getting the suction started is simplicity itself. A couple of squeezes and it's started. Brilliant. The speed is a lot higher than the last one too, cutting the time to change the water in half. So much less mess too, the jiggly siphon splashed everywhere, and I was always afraid of braining one of the more curious fish. For the price, it's a time saver and I can't complain at all.

I've used a few different types of gravel cleaners including electric ones and this one is excellent, I was shocked how powerful it is, but I would be cautious if you have very tiny fry because I did accidentally suck up a few, but I use clear buckets so was quickly rescued.

Well, the good news is that it worked. The less good news is that the design is pretty woeful. Three problems: 1. the instructions make big thing of ensuring that the squeezy pump is connected the right way - with one end marked output. Only it wasnt, both ends were identical. Still - only a choice of two ways, so soon sorted that! 2. The syphon squeezer is meant to be at the end of the pipe, inside the bucket collecting the water. So unless a two person operation,its a bit of a contortion to have one hand squeezing, in the bucket and the other steering the collection head from above the aquarium ( I solved this by cutting the pipe, and putting the squeeze about half-way up) 3. There is no way provided to stop the flow. once started. You have to either lift the pipe out of the aqarium ( slow and messy) or bend the pipe back on itself to strangle the flow.

Listen up folks. If you got one and the pump did not work, it means you put it on the wrong way round. The water will only flow in one direction. It would be helpful if there was an arrow or symbol on the pump to show which way to connect it to the hose. Lots of complaints on here from people that have not worked out you can only fit it one way as it has a one way valve when you pump the bulb.

I wish I had bought this before. Far superior to motorised versions. Simple to assemble and was very effective in removing debris in the bottom of the tank. Highly recommend.

Ganz ehrlich, ich habe bestimmt schon alles an Mulmer getestet, aber dieses Produkt ist mit Abstand das beste. Preisleistung ist absolut in Ordnung und man hat kein lästiges Aquarienwasser im Mund. Rohre zusammenbauen, Schlauch dran und ins Wasser damit. 2 mal pumpen und das Wasser läuft, perfekt. Die Zugkraft idt wirklich stark, sodass wirklich alles an Mulm angesaugt wird. Sollte doch mal etwas Grund mit gezogen werden, läuft dies einfach mit durch in den Eimer(kein verstopfen des Schlauches oder der Pumpe ) Mitgeliefert werden noch zwei Saugnäpfe, mit denen man den Schlauch an der Scheibe oder im Eimer befestigen kann. Ein gelungenes Produkt, ohne viel Schnick Schnack , das tadellos funktioniert und tut was soll. Kann es nur Empfehlen.

Great piece of kit, good suction pads on the inlet pipe.

Scheelt me veel tijd bij het overhevelen van aquariumwater. Super eenvoudig in gebruik en veilig voor de vissen

Amazing
