Nah, I built my own
.
The first one I tried was too slow and not enough volume (a Python worked better). (Couldn't be my lack of patience
).
I haven't had a reason to try the later models.

Cool invention but pointless if you ask me...Why vacuum and THEN change the water when you can do both with a siphon?
I see, I did not know that. I have never kept a saltwater tank.spiff;2748328; said:
Thank for the info =D
My buddy got one from infinite aquatics its made by eheim I believe. He said it works well. I am interested in one to tidy up after some feedings and what not. No water changing necessary with these vacuums I believe. I hadn't heard of them until last night I am definitely on board!
Some people with drip systems can use these to do gravel vacs instead of having to start siphons or use a python.
