You're a life saver just purchased for my 75 gallon aquarium and was having trouble connecting it to the sink didn't know I had to unscrew the aerator from faucet.
You made this crazy puzzle make sense to us! Also, we used a hose. In that sense, the tool for the faucet wasn't even necessary 2:43. Basement sinks and outdoor faucets work without that attachment. It's worth pointing that out.
Great Video, I guess the only trick is timing the fill so you can get to the bathroom and shut it off before the tank overflows, lol. But no doubt about it, this is the way to go, beats buckets by a long mile.
OMG this video is 7 years old but you did an awesome job demonstrating it and when you mentioned everyone getting pissed cause all the water spilled all over i was like... "shiz son, thats me!!!" lol, so I went to petco and bought one just now!! can't wait to use it!! Thanks man!!
you are a LIFE SAVER! I never knew about these and was about to spend a ton of money on buckets and a dolly so i could siphon the water into the buckets and then move the buckets with a dolly into my backyard and dump the water into the grass . Your siphon method is WAY better ! Thank you so much! I'm ordering one right now. your fish are so cute, that marble peacock cichilid is so funny. he is a very curious and active! I can tell you take good care of your fish. keep up the good work honey!
EXCELLENT POINT CAMERON, ABOUT SHUTTING OFF THE WATER WHEN DRAINING THE TANK AND THE SIPHON EFFECT CONTINUES DRAINING THE TANK. IT'S PROBABLY A LOT SLOWER, BUT I WILL DEFINITELY TRY IT...LESS WATER BILL.
Thank you so much for this! Just got one for my 75 gallon and needed a good walk-through. The girl at the store warned me to be careful because that she got soaked one day when she used it wrong, so I was a little nervous lol
Thank you for sharing. Now I think I understand how to suction the water out and which direction the on/off switch should be. That was my problem. I was still suctioning manually and I've had the Aqueon for a while now. Thx.
Excellent video explaining everything. My issue is that when I turn my water off to save water, the suction stops completely. Yours continued the suction. What am I doing wrong?
Nice vid brother!!! That siphon makes life a whole lot easier i suppose!:) as for me, im still dwn with the bucket gang bro!!! After seeing this...i will be retiring my rag & copping me a siphon soon:) i see u have a 46 bow front... I have one as well...lol! keep up the great work & thanks for sharing!
I never put untreated water in my tank. you can really mess with the bacteria establishment, thus creating a bacteria bloom which is why your tank is slightly cloudy
I saw you put in 2-3 caps of prime, my 50 when new recommended one cap per 50 gal, again you put 2-3 caps in. Is that over dosing or is it tough to actually over dose on prime? Im going to buy the water changer now I know how it works, thank you
I'm confused how to find a adapter if the one you have doesn't fit.. i went to home depot with a picture of my faucet and the adapter give to me and they didn't understand at all… i gave up with these
Is their a fitting to make the hose longer. I want to get the 25 foot one and add my 5 foot hose to it making it 30 foot. The 50 foot one is way to long
Yoooo 40 bucks i know! Order it on amazon got this 25 foot for 25.99 so now you know order on amazon while you can! Awesome water changer saves so much time!
The aqueon water changer is amazing. Only thing I don't like much is that if you don't have extremely good water pressure it doesn't work. I just use the garden water hose, I bring it inside in order to have good pressure. Aside from that it is a great product.
I just got this device. When the valve is set to take out water, is the faucet suppose to be on just like the video? Im just making sure because isnt the water running as well while taking out water, meaning its wasting water at the same time? Does this sound right? I have mine on off, but the suction is low.
Jesilyn, You shouldn't use a standard garden hose to fill your tanks. They have toxic materials. Get a white hose that you would see for an RV. They are drinking water safe. You may be able to find them in the RV section at Walmart.
this was hell to set up and it's still not great... but I can't figure out for the life of me how to suction the water back in... it doesn't work. I just have to manually do it
Great video but is there anything out there that is different, i don't want to throw my nast fish water and turtle water into my sink where i brush my teeth and wash my hands.i would rather just throw the water in a bucket.
dont you empty the dirty water someplace? Clean your sink! We always used the kitchen sink, but I ALWAYS cleaned my sink afterwards...DUH...common sense!
That’s the whole point of this, it can, just turn on your faucet with the switch on the syphon mode and it’ll start sucking the water out, that’s what it showed in the video
This dude is probably in his 20s now. I wonder if he still does 2 min intros haha. Great video man, hope you survived the pandemic XD
Thanks for the demo. It was confusing when I bought the product until I watched your video! Filling tank now! Thanks again!

Thanks, great job! I ordered this Aqueon and it is arriving this Wednesday. Super excited! Now I know how to use it. Thank you

Thank you for making this video. I just bought my water changer and was not sure how to use it. Thanks again!!!
Great video. Just watched this and ordered one on Amazon for $25. Sure as hell beats carrying buckets back and forth.
Jason Irmen can u link it?

johnny G my water isn’t metered but it’s definitely better for the environment, and water consumption.
Thank you. I finally know how to do this! The other videos on this are not clear; they merely show themselves sticking the vacuum into the gravel.
Excellent tutorial using the water changer. Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for this! Just got one for my 75 gallon and needed a good walk-through. The girl at the store warned me to be careful because that she got soaked one day when she used it wrong, so I was a little nervous lol
Thanks for making this video it really made it easy to understand how to use this water changer. Great job!👏

Thanks! i'll be doing this in a couple of days when it comes in and use it on my 125 gallon tank
The best and most helpful video. Thank you
Excellent video explaining everything. My issue is that when I turn my water off to save water, the suction stops completely. Yours continued the suction. What am I doing wrong?
Very helpful! Thank you for taking your time to share this info 😊
how do you only have 377 subs your content is great!
Cameron this is a great video. I hope you keep posting
Hey great video! Very easy to follow and gave just enough information for a beginner like me. Thank you.
whats up, you can hook a regular garden hose up to that?
Hey this helped me a ton. Thanks for the great tips and info!
Nice vid brother!!! That siphon makes life a whole lot easier i suppose!:) as for me, im still dwn with the bucket gang bro!!! After seeing this...i will be retiring my rag & copping me a siphon soon:) i see u have a 46 bow front... I have one as well...lol! keep up the great work & thanks for sharing!
You dosed for the full vol. of the tank twice? If I understand that correctly can you tell me your thinking for doing that? Thanks!
I never put untreated water in my tank. you can really mess with the bacteria establishment, thus creating a bacteria bloom which is why your tank is slightly cloudy
Brandon Lyautey UNLESS YOUR HOUSE HAS A WELL W/GOOD GROUNDWATER
I always treat my water before and it's still slightly cloudy for the first 12 hours or so.
Question, if you're using a product like Aquaeous Water Changer, how is it possible to pretreat the water when you're connected to the faucet?
L Dejazzman instant water conditioner. Never had a problem
Matt Cline do you have a brand name for that?
I saw you put in 2-3 caps of prime, my 50 when new recommended one cap per 50 gal, again you put 2-3 caps in. Is that over dosing or is it tough to actually over dose on prime? Im going to buy the water changer now I know how it works, thank you
Can you semi open the valve on the tube (the one that gets put into the tank) to make the suction even less powerful?
If it leaks I am assuming I will need to get an adapter tho im not sure how to find an adapter
I'm confused how to find a adapter if the one you have doesn't fit.. i went to home depot with a picture of my faucet and the adapter give to me and they didn't understand at all… i gave up with these
i’m having trouble putting the hose on the part that suctions the water. It literally won’t fit
This is a big help. My tank are shaped different.
Where does the water go when you take it out with the water changer
Thank you! We are buying one of these!
Good review video. Have you seen video on the Python Gravel Vacuum
Is their a fitting to make the hose longer. I want to get the 25 foot one and add my 5 foot hose to it making it 30 foot. The 50 foot one is way to long
AWESOME DEMONSTRATION, GOOD JOB! peace out!!
I have a question how long would you leave it in there for a 30 gallon tank because I might get one
What kind of sand do you use and how much do you put in
Great tutorial!!! Thanks for posting!!
Great information
thanks for the help man!
I tried to do a water changer on a 40 gallon tank and still no water comes out
Yoooo 40 bucks i know! Order it on amazon got this 25 foot for 25.99 so now you know order on amazon while you can! Awesome water changer saves so much time!
Great info.
everything's hooked up but it won't suck
Thunder Muffin same problem I have
Thanks so much! Great tutorial

Yes it is. That is what creates the suction.

I always thought you had to dechlorinate the water prior to adding it to the tank.
How many gallons is your tank bro?
thanks alot u really taught me alot :-)
The 50ft is currently $35 on Amazon - May 2020. Get that shit on sale 👍
thanks for the video. i'm gonna get one asap
i tried to shut my water off to save water and i stopped suctioning..any recommendations?
Angie Torres don’t turn off the water then... fr sum people tho...
is it normal for small cloud/dust-like particles to come out from the gravel vac when filling up the tank?
Yes
Dont you have to hmm PRIME the pump, first??? Put the water ON for a little bit?? Once it ... gets to the aquarium?? Please reply... anyone.
Great Video .thank you
Does it still only pump down or can the suction allow it to pump up??? My tank is lower than my sink
It could pump either way
Love it
this can be constructed at the same home depot or lowes lol. look at it its tubes and a valve. 8 bucks maybe
I did what you did and water is coming out...it's not sucking the water out.
nice video!
Careful threading it on to metal it will cause the threading to deform
when u do a water change, do u just take out 50% of the water then fill it back up again? thanks
Actually, the norm for water change is I believe 30%
this was hell to set up and it's still not great... but I can't figure out for the life of me how to suction the water back in... it doesn't work. I just have to manually do it
To fill up the tank with water again you have to turn the switch and turn on your faucet if it doesn’t work then your thing is broken
I have one but don't you worry about sand going down your drain!?!
J.T Amazing Cichlid Man lololol
thanks that helped me a lot
I always thought that the hose had to be LOWER than the AQURIUM?? NO? WATER DOESNT TRAVEL hmm UP? NO?
Great video but is there anything out there that is different, i don't want to throw my nast fish water and turtle water into my sink where i brush my teeth and wash my hands.i would rather just throw the water in a bucket.
+MASKEDmanREVIEWS87 Well once you get it siphoning you could redirect it to your toilet...
dont you empty the dirty water someplace? Clean your sink! We always used the kitchen sink, but I ALWAYS cleaned my sink afterwards...DUH...common sense!
thanks good demo
My sink has threads on the outside how so i hook it up to that
it should come with both female and male adapters
Mad late but can someone reply back quick can this suck water out without using the syphon method because i suck at that
That’s the whole point of this, it can, just turn on your faucet with the switch on the syphon mode and it’ll start sucking the water out, that’s what it showed in the video
Thanks man
great video..
I use a Waterbed adapter and a water hose.
nice aquarium
thanks for the help
great video i will get one
Thanks kid!
Yeah bro... Bows are the cadillacs of fishtanks!!!:)
I'm goin to buy one
I don't have enough suction when I turn the water. Can anyone help?
Had mine for six months before the connector failed. Never again.
I paid 34.99 for 50 foot I love it
nice tank
thumbs up
DUDE!!!!!! you need to triple the size of that tank for those fish.... that is why they are dying, sad to see such abuse.
Very helpful vídeo tks 👌👌👌👌
"i dropped the cap in the tank" lol
usually i dont like videos posted by kids, but ur an acception...9:20 XD XD
Nice
this is on sale right now on amazon at $20.
You didnt show how to attach the hose, which is the hardest part
Why would I really wanna put this on my sink
You get get it for $20 from Amazon
Cameron I would suggest that you take karate lessons and get really good with computers. Good luck son.
Lol Jesus
it seems that the Python is a better design.. I own this one though...
I switched. Python is better.
I’m gonna buy that top thin thing and I’m not gonna use it for no fish😏
The tank is way to small for the big guy! the little guys cant hide .nice fish though
