Product Information

Keep small aquariums spotless with the ISTA Compact Syphon Cleaner I-056. Designed for nano and small tanks, this lightweight cleaner offers precise control and efficient debris removal.

The ISTA Compact Syphon Cleaner I-056 is a handheld aquarium gravel vacuum with an easy-start pump (squeeze or shake), designed for hassle-free water changes by removing debris from substrate without losing gravel, featuring adjustable flow, a fish-safe filter net, and a hose holder for stability, making it ideal for various tank sizes.

Key Features

• Easy Start: Starts the siphon with a few squeezes or shakes, no mouth suction needed.
• Gravel Cleaning: Efficiently separates debris from gravel, preventing gravel loss.
• Flow Control: An adjustable valve controls water flow, useful for delicate substrates.
• Fish Safe: Includes a filtering net to prevent small fish or substrate from being sucked in.
• Stable Operation: Comes with a hose holder to secure the hose to the bucket, preventing spills.
• Expandable: Can be extended with ISTA’s optional rods for deeper tanks.

How it Works

1. Setup: Connect the hose and holder, stabilize the hose on your bucket.
2. Start Siphon: Squeeze the pump or shake it up and down until water flows.
3. Clean: Move the cleaner into the gravel; debris gets sucked up while gravel stays down.
4. Adjust: Use the valve to lower flow if too much substrate is pulled in.

An ideal maintenance tool for smaller aquarium environments.
