When to choose it

Choose this siphon if you want a separate flow control when moving water from a small aquarium to a bucket. The listing specifies a 16-inch maximum working depth. Compare depth directly even if your tank falls within the listed three- to eight-gallon range.

A clamp helps position the drain hose at the receiver, while the bulb starts the flow. Check the six-foot route with the bucket in place and below the tank. Set the hose where you can watch it while keeping the intake clear of fixtures and inhabitants.

Questions about this product

Does the three- to eight-gallon range establish that it fits?

No. The listing also gives a 16-inch maximum working depth, and the intake still needs enough access under the lid.

What is the valve for if there is already a squeeze bulb?

The bulb starts the siphon. The separate valve gives you a control point once water is moving.

What comes with the drain hose?

The listing includes a six-foot drain hose, wide gravel tube, flow-control valve and hose fixture clamp.
