This siphon is battery powered. It works in the simple sense that it does siphon but it is really not effective as a solution for cleaning an aquarium because it does not have any real suction power …maybe it is meant for something else?

The company that I purchased this from, Strictly Pet Supplies, sent the item very quickly and it was packaged well as well.

The siphon works great and is easy to use. When it touches the bottom it won't pick up the aquatic soil or rocks, but it will pick up all the crap and fish excriment that has accumulated there. The tube has an adjustable length so I can use it in my tall and short aquariums. You can also purchase replacement filter bags.

Some other reviewers on other sites complained that the item is fragile and can break. This is true. Some parts looks like they're made from thin plastic and can break if you drop it. But its not the manufacturers fault, you just have to be careful when using it. Rating: 5 / 5

There is a remarkable improvement in the clarity of the water.

I use it once a week in addition to the regular maintenance routine.

My goldfish are happy!

I just bought a second one. I wore the first out. It would be better is it was built a little more sturdy but it is the easiest way to clean an aquarium.
