Gravel cleaning - Aquarium Advice

Hey there,

I'm looking at getting one of these. A battery powered multivac seems to be a great idea but I can't find any reviews and whether they are any good or just a bit of junk. Has anyone got one or tried one? I have a 66gal tank and I think this doovalackey would be pretty handy. So, reckon it's worth it?

They won't last from what I read. I researched them a while back and other people said they work great but they die out quick, because of the electric powered moving parts. A regularly syphon would work best for a small tank and a Python for a larger tank is recommended.

Cool, thanks very much.

I'd highly recommend the python. You can DIY one quite inexpensively if you want to rather than buying one.
