This 24" gravel tube is an alternate replacement for the 10" unit included with any Python No Spill Clean and Fill Aquarium Maintenance Systems. Extended length gravel tubes are ideal for taller aquariums. They provide access to those hard-to-reach areas for effective gravel cleaning. Includes 2.5 feet of tubing and a female connector for easy installation.

I was replacing a similar unit that was starting to crack after 10 years. The only problem with this one is the hose is too short to start a siphon. I replaced the hose with the longer on from my old device.

The suction power is way better the 10 inch python comes with and you can actually wash your gravel without sucking it out and it gets all my detritus and other gunk out of the tank, a must have for bigger tanks I’ve been missing out

It worked well but I thought the tap running would start the suction running but I still had to shake it up and down to get the syphon working.

I got this for my Fluval Roma 240 as the standard tube was too short, this reaches the bottom with a little extra at the top to hold it with. Very happy with it.

Python Rocks! I might have said sucks, meaning sucks the water out of your tank extremely well, LOL ( : but that might put people off in the title of a review. I've used Python as long as they've been on the market--which means I've had mine for an eon, and only had to replace it because I stepped on the suction tube full on and cracked it!This is the extended tube which makes cleaning deeper tanks (mine is a 55 gallon) a lot easier. I also own the extension piece to make my python longer, but that's another review. All the Python equipment is very well made, and should last you a long time. I would not be without the extension tube and use it every time I do a water change in my tank.

We have been using the Python for about a year I think so far and after using another brand for quite a few years, this one is superior in performance with ONE exception. The tube is too small for our tanks larger than 29, and we had to replace ALL GASKETS with pink rubber gaskets that you use for garden hoses. Otherwise the system leaked.HOW DOES THIS PERFORM IN OUR LARGER TANKS?This attachment makes cleaning the larger tanks a breeze. Originally purchased for a 75 gallon tank I have yet to set up, this attachment makes cleaning our 36 bow front and 29 gallon tank much easier. We also use the green hook over the top to refill the water, which is a pretty quick change. It will be handier for the 75 gallon tank which will need more refill water.WARNINGOne word of warning- make sure you replace the black gasket in this attachment with a rubber garden hose gasket (those pink ones). If you don't it will leak. We have done this to the entire system and it changed it from an almost return to a fantastic system. No leaks and quite sturdy.THE BOTTOM LINEGreat for larger tanks, this attachment works great and is easier to handle so that your hands are not submerged into the tank the entire time. As long as the gasket is replaced with the rubber kind that you use for garden hoses, it works like a charm. Without the replacement, it leaks.FIVE STARS- LOVE this size for our bigger tanks, and the easy swapability with the green hook for refilling larger tanks.

The first thing to comment on is that this item is LONG. Very long and it works perfectly. I have always had gravel cleaners that were short and I had to get my arm into the water to sift through the gravel. It worked but not without the need for a towel close at hand. Not so for this guy. He is longer than my 55 gallon aquarium is tall and since I no longer have gravel but sand on the bottom of the tank this not only keeps my arm dry but gives the sand more room to filter out the sediment without the sand going through the tube and down the drain. I recommend this to all fellow aquarium enthusiasts.

This attachment makes cleaning so much easier. The one I had before was short and I always had to get my hands in the water. I love how well it works. Lots of suction. Watch you do get any little fish in it.

This is great if you have a high tank. My tank is 20" high and the tube extends about 5" pass my water line. No need to remove the canopy as I can tilt the tube sideways and still don't get my hands wet.The vinyl hose is only about 30" which isn't long. You will need the kit/system or an additional hose to use it. It can connect to a regular garden hose. If you have a longer inner diameter vinyl hose of 1/2", you can remove the supplied hose and attach the new hose or buy a male adapter and attach it to the new hose by screwing it to the supplied hose which I did. You can buy the Pro Cleaner version with the 6' hose (it doesn't come with the female adapter) but I had an extra vinyl hose and adapter so it was a lot cheaper this way. A matter of fact, it's cheaper to buy this version and buy the vinyl hose at Home Depot (10' hose) for under $5 or the thicker one (like the one this one come with) for under $7. And that's 10' versus 6' of hose and it's less than Pro Cleaner version. Or buy the 5/8" id with 100' hose for $10 along with an adapter for under$1 and now you can run it through your house for all under $25.Some say it vacuums too fast. It does suck up a lot of debris/water quickly but if you need to slow it down all you do is bend the vinyl hose and it slows down. The tube (2" diameter) is great as I was able to vacuum my 25 gal tank in a couple of mins. I also have the 1" tube 16" length / 3/8" id hose version. It was ok but took too long and I had to partially drain my tank so my hands wouldn't get wet. I'm glad I upgrade to this one.
