Siphons
A siphon cleaner is one of the most useful but often overlooked pieces of aquarium equipment, making water changes and substrate cleaning quick and simple. By using gravity to pull water through a tube, siphons let you remove debris, uneaten food, and waste from your gravel or sand while draining old water. This not only keeps your tank looking clean but also helps prevent ammonia spikes, algae blooms, and other water parameter issues that can harm your fish. Many siphons include self-starting mechanisms or faucet attachments for even easier use, and with regular weekly or biweekly water changes, your aquarium will stay healthier and more stable. Just take care not to disturb plant roots or drain too much water at once, and you’ll find this tool invaluable for long-term maintenance.
