Discus - Small possibly fungal growth on tail

[Phantom]

I use that super sink pump to extract water and vacuum the gravel. Works great.

I'm sure using The Sypnoner that attaches onto the Tap, is fine if you are only wanting to take water out and put water back into your tank, no good if you are wanting to vaccum the gravel.

I assume from the python specs it has 7:1 suction and can be used to vacuum as well. Their product includes a vacuum attachment.

This is the part I do not fully understand. I think the unit that MikeFish sells is the same as the python unit (just a different color)

I beleive (I could be wrong) that you actually turn the tap on to syphon out water. I assume that if you are using a normal hose 13 mm then over a distance of say 20-30 meters you would not get much suction and hence may not run the vacume very well.

I made my own vacume with an old water bottle and a larger 18mm hose - Far better section that the commercial unit I bought from the LPS.

On his trademe ads mikefish mentions videos on his web site that shows how it works but I get a page not found error.

I telephoned them today and they said that Mike was redoing the web site and there were lots of broken links. They did not seem very interested in knowing about the problem. Infact all they tried to do was point me back to trademe.
