Hi.....I have recently set up a 5 gallon tank and was talked in to purchasing the fluvial edge gravel cleaner w/ the 15 inch intake tube to clean it. I really do like the fact that I do not have to submerge my hands in the water, but good grief I'm giving my fish a mini heart attack trying to get the suction started. And so far I have not been able to in fact start it either.
Yes, I'm aware of the plug the end, dip in, fill up, etc method... but that is a bit awkward for me to do as I only have the use of one hand/arm. i understand those siphon starter bulbs are extremely helpful for this, but I'm honestly not sure which one will fit this fluval edge 15 inch? Fluval does have a vac with a bulb already on it, but my understanding is that is that one is for a much larger tank then my 5 gallon. I do see on amazon that Lee's sells one separately.. will it fit this gravel cleaner?
