Unlike siphon operated gravel vacuums which require buckets and hoses, the EHEIM Quick Vac pro is a hassle-free solution to conveniently maintaining the aquarium bottom.
The EHEIM Quick Vac Pro Automatic Gravel Cleaner and Sludge Extractor makes cleaning an aquarium as easy as pressing a button. Just insert the suction end into the gravel. The water suction lifts the waste up and deposits it into the super-fine mesh cartridge. Quick cleanings are done in minutes.
HOW IT CLEANS:
-
Advanced suction power is specifically designed to pick up dirt particles, remove waste and extract sludge without excessively disturbing gravel or the biological balance of aquarium.
-
Super fine mesh cartridge traps even the smallest waste particles while letting water back into your aquarium (any residual cloudy water will clear up shortly after use).
