Hello,

Having a hard time finding a siphon hose I like. The stores in my neck of the woods all carry the same Top Fin siphon. The plastic tubing keeps getting hard and the vacuum end keeps falling off. I sniped off the ends to get to a more pliable section but I can only do that so many times before it gets too short. This is my third siphon like this and it’s annoying.

Can anyone recommend a siphon hose they like?

It’s a standard 10 gallon tank.

Thanks!

The Fluval 15" siphon. Love the long siphon and more narrow helps get into tight spots.

But I have had mine about 5 years now and probably will need to trim the end on it. I switched ends, but get a tiny bubble. I did trim the edge at a slight angle as it is bent at the plastic connector where the plastic tube and siphon connect and cutting the plastic tube at an angle helped keep it tighter.

I think there are different lengths

Python bran siphons are by far the best quality - The hose they use is superior to any other brand I ever used which includes Aqeon, Lee, and some ebay crappers
