Default Eheim hand held gravel cleaner


Anyone had any experience this Eheim hand held gravel cleaner/sludge remover?

It's like an underwater dust buster......90 bucks though....seemed like a cool thing for spot detritus removal.....doesn't remove water, runs on batteries and can be fully submerged.

im sure it works great, but so does x number of feet of rubber tubing from rona or home depot. It's also a fraction of the price.

Tubing is great but I was thinking that you don't have to drag it out, you don't remove any water (I know you'd normally want to do this but...you don't have to mix or have any water made up).....you just suck up the crap and get it out of the tank....

Neat idea but much easier to play with your flow so you don't have dead spots in your tank.

My flow must not be optimized.....90 gallon 4feet long

My flow consists of my on return, A tunze nano wavebox at one end, a seio with lots of flow (can't remember the model number off the top of my head) on the other backwall, a koralia 2 at the bottom right hand corner.

I have a couple of Tunze Turbelle nanostream 6055s with a multi controller that I haven't put in....thought too much....

I could probably use some tips on flow amounts and directions and powerhead placements.

Mostly zoos, LPS and a few branches of Bird's nest I'm growing

Sounds like enough flow. So you wanna trade your koralia 2 for a 4?
