Great purchase for tall tanks.
Cleaning a tall 65 gallon tank was not easy until now!It's pretty easy to put together and as long as you tighten it enough so that the rubber gaskets catch well there should not be any leaking. I had originally used all four extensions because I honestly thought I was going to need all four of them. In the end I really only needed two and the part where the recycler goes into. I used the sand cleaning extension to clean the gravel in this tank and it did a great job.The part that repumps the water back in after cleaning could have been a little bit better because it was still a lot of stuff going back into the tank after I was done vacuuming the bottom. So what I did to help with this was I cut a piece of aquarium floss and put it in between the two layers of carbon and that helped catch a lot more debris. It did however make it so that it was pulling up a few of my plants because the pressure changed.I also did a small water change of a 5 gallon bucket and pumping the water out was good, but I got a bit distracted and ended up with a little bit of water on my floor because I was not keeping a very close eye on the level of the bucket as it was pumping. It pumped out the 5 gallons of water in less than 5 minutes and I honestly thought it was going to take longer than that. Even though I had clicked the off switch it still continue to pump water for a few seconds due to gravity and that's how I ended up with water on the floor.Once I clean that up I filled my bucket up with water and added my dechlorinator and then put the pump in the bucket and the hose in the tank and pumping the water back up to the tank was fantastic! Didn't hurt my back having to manually scoop water from the bucket to the tank and it was less stressful for all my tank inhabitants.I've already recommended this to two people and really hope that they are interested in getting one because it was fantastic to use.Only negative thing I will say is I do wish that the power switch was in a different position because it did make it a little bit harder to try to find to click it off when my bucket was overflowing.

Flat out does not work.
Flat out does not work right out of the box. Got it to work one time after multiple tries.1. Vacuum attachment with sponge is put together so you cannot possible clean the sponge.2. Intermittently does not work out of the box. First time I turned it on I could hear the motor but nothing was coming out. Had to turn it off and on several times.3. Connections leak. I had to put teflon tape on the connection but then it still leaks when the tubing connects to the wand.4. Big and bulky and hard to maneuver around the rocks.5. The power switch is down near the plug???? Why just why? You literally have to put an extension cord on it and tie wrap the switch closer to the wand to have to close enough to turn off and on.6. This is the scary part. I think it is an AC pump??? Hopefully it shorts out but it is not a DC pump.I will try it for a few more days but not particularly happy with it. I had higher expectations from Hygger. I usually like their stuff but this is just not that good of a design.

This vacuum sucks.. too good 🤣
I love this vac. After reading some reviews and seeing some about how parts don’t fit, I don’t think they used the adapter that goes on after the main vac portion first or something. Everything works and fits perfectly on mine! There’s a ton of attachments for multiple uses. It’s pretty powerful.I have a 36 gal bow front Neo shrimp tank and a 55gal turtle tank.The only room for improvement I’ve noticed is that it would be better if there was some kind of power level control.-In my shrimp tank, I have fluval stratum substrate, which I don’t recommend vacuuming 🤣 I keep it about an inch or two away and it’s powerful enough to not suck it up but any dead roots/waste off the top layer. If I use the vacuum and the recycle water feature, (not doing a water change) the water coming back into the tank comes back pretty hard and clouds everything up. Doing water changes to/from my 5gal bucket is a game changer though! Again, a little too powerful for shooting water back into the tank. So what I did is attached the recycle water outlet to the black refill hose, with the filters still inside. I don’t think they intended it for this, but it really helps soften the blow and not disturb my substrate! See picture.For my turtle tank. I have larger rocks, easy to clean. Again, the recycling vacuum is a little overpowering and clouds up the tank though. Just like my other tank, being as tall as it is, I would think I wouldn’t have much of an issue. I did shorten it a little to get it closer to the water top, but didn’t help much.The filters also can get clogged with turtle sludge pretty quick. While it creates a few extra steps in cleaning out those parts, still does a great job and faster than my syphon hose vac. Refilling is also a breeze. I don’t use my softening method as the bottom has 2in River rock and doesn’t fall apart like stratum4/5 stars mainly because the lack of power control. I don’t think it’s that good for the recycle vac option, but for the price and functionality of its other features it’s great! I love mine and all my other hygger products. Best bang for your buck!

1000 stars if I could!
I love this for cleaning my aquarium!! It is so much easier than trying to clean sand with a normal siphon! The quality is so good that I can’t believe it’s only $30!
