- Hygger Gravel GUN Vacuum Setup & Review. I saw that this product was a top seller in the aquarium niche and I had to test it out because it looks super interesting. The hygger gravel vacuum is a cool tool to have in your Arsenal. I go over my review of this product and talk about some of its features.

Need some advice in upgrading my Betta's setup. I am planning to transferring him from a 5 Gallon with gravel substrate to a 10 Gallon with sand and gravel substrate. My question is, how do I go about this? How long would it take to cycle the 10 Gallon and have it set up well? Below is a pic of my guy in his current 5 Gallon aquarium.
Beautiful! I’d recommend you look up doing a dirted tank with sand cap if you are wanting lots of live plants (mine are thriving in my dirted tank) and i used the fishless fuel to cycle my tank and it took about 3.5 weeks to be ready for stock to be added and plants and fish are now thriving in the tank I have setup that way.
My betta, Peach seems to have a cloudy eye. How should I treat him? Meds are no longer available in Canada. I have Methylene blue, but not sure if its a fungaI infection. I could treat him with aquarium salt. Let me know you've treated your betta with cloudy eye. Thanks in advanced.
So I lost my beautiful double tail Spirit...and we got this boy Apollo a couple weeks ago. My concern is my first Spirit was a double tail and ended up with a swim bladder issue. So his main food source became betta bug bites and daphnia. And I fed him sparingly. Apollo is not a double tail so not prone to swim bladder, but I think I may be under feeding him. The foods shown are what I feed him and I alternate them daily and once a week he gets daphnia. I only feed him one vibra peice broken up, or a couple small pieces of betta bug bites, or a small piece of flake. My question is..can I feed him that twice a day without issue? I rather have a skinny fish than one with a swim bladder issue but also don't want him to lose his beautiful fat body. Thank you in advance for advice. Apollo and I appreciate it.
Yeah the tips of his fins look black. Not sure if thats his normal color, but from the research I've done I heard that could be fin rot. Even if your parameters are perfect (ours were too) they can still acquire fin rot. I would do a mild dose of aquarium salt and if that doesn't help I'd use seachem paraguard and something like stress coat.
Not exactly though I’ve had the tank running for a year and a couple months.. I’ve have no issues so far.. could just mean the tanks doing really well and the biological filter is doing a good enough job.. I mean I have a baffled 20g filter in a 5g tank and tons of plants and I feed only a smig heavier than I should.. just the fact of how long I’ve had it running indicates that it might just be really healthy and established but I’m going to track weekly well see the results if it stays at zero for the next couple of weeks I’ll assume the tanks just healthy.
Hello all! I just recently got a betta and i bought a desktop 2 gallon tank for him. After reading that they should have a bigger tank i went ahead and bought a marineland 5 gallon tank. As being a new owner should i stick to fake plants at the moment or just go ahead and use some real plants?
Real plants will help filter out nitrates but I would wait until your bacteria is established as the plants will melt. Silk plants are great too! Just gotta make sure they're not plastic and sharp, which can rip delicate fins. If you have a plakat, you could maybe get away with rounded plastic but I wouldn't chance it.
Real ones! I promise they're so easy as long as you know the basics of plant care. My favorites is the amazon sword but once you get the plants established, they'll do their own thing and help your tank and fish out much better.
Definitely real plants. I have the same tank and cut out the “built-in filter” since it takes up at least 1 gallon itself and I read people had difficulty with regulating the temperature.
Even as a first time aquarium keeper a while back, I always stuck with all natural decor. Real rocks, real plants. I started with just house plants rooting in the top of the tank though, pothos, wandering Jew, spider. Then I slowly added easy aquatic plants like hornwort and Anubias. Most sites that sell plants describe the level of care as easy/beginner, intermediate, etc. I also never buy plants that say they need Co2. I’m not wanting to get that far into plants.
Anubias, maybe some Java fern. They don't need to be rooted, just tied or glued to something, feed from the water column. I had beautifully planted tanks with only those plants and moss for YEARS and never used a special light or a drop of fertilizer. And anubias rarely loses leaves, they don't really melt, and they don't shed. They grow slowly, but that's a good thing for a 5g tank.

Thank you for choosing our products, Chris!!
@Hygger aquarium
How can I get this is in Canada?
It was good but the second time I use it stop working 😢
I just used it! And the tirgger stopped working!! Please help me trouble shoot it!! The trigger is no longer actice no water goes up!!?? Why is that
@@kimthebudgetslayer on the third try it stopped working on me too, wtf
These things are junk. I went back to buckets and syphoning, then refilling with a waterbed drain/fill valve($7) and garden hose
I have a tall 15 gallon tank. I received this exact Hygger Vacuum for Christmas and I was impressed on how well it cleaned the white gravel. The gun along with the elongated tube made it so simple & quick to use within a few minutes.
This is an excellent presentation... I'm on Amazon looking at this unit and did a RUclips search. Here we are! I'm sold, I wish that instead of the pinch-flow control, they put a turn-valve inline - aka globe valve. That would help with start and stop water changes. Sold! The long, smaller diameter tube that gets it down in between plantings is a huge bonus. Thumbs UP, wishing you all the best!
OK ....so I find ur overall delivery refreshing and informative ! Keep up the good work dude !
Ours worked very well, very easy and cleaned the tank quickly. Pump trigger makes it, dble pump and off you go. Took less than 10 minutes with our small 3 gallon tank. Thanks for the videos
Just got mine delivered today. Used your vid to see how to use. Thanks so much!
I got something similar from a different brand a few months ago and I was sold. The trigger thing worked better for me than the hand pump, and the flow control thing is very helpful when I am filling my tank (20 gallon) as I don't want too much flow while filling
Newb here. I just got a tiny little desk top beta tank and got a regular gravity feed gravel vac. I had problems trying to prime the tube in such a small tank even though the packaging said it was for 1-15 gal tanks. When I pumped the up and down action stirred up all the debris. Yuck! The trigger thing sounds like the perfect answer. Thank you for your review. Going right to Amazon next. Gotta keep Mr Finley happy!
Good review…trying mine out today.
got mine...so far so good
Great video, just ordered one- thanks!
Just ordered one. Looks like it will be great for spot cleaning.
Gravel gun vac looks really cool. I may be setting up another betta tank soon. Have 2 already....
Definitely might get one
I just got one and I love it!
sounds great i want to try it thanks
i just bought one, havnt used it yet as the tanks fine at the moment but looking forward to tested it out when the time comes🙂
I can't wait to get mine awesome
Looks kind of cool. I have an aqueon squeeze type gravity thing. It sometimes will stop and you have to restart it. The gun trigger seems much easier. I also have a python but havent used it as my last 2 homes were rentals and did not feel like dealing with changing out the plumbing fittings.
Thanks you really help me.
Nice. Do you have a vid on how to start a plant tank like the one you just cleaned?
Got mine today looks great! I was sold as soon as I figured out I don't have to put my mouth on the hose💯. I also didn't want to spend money on a electric one I wish I found this sooner to be honest
Alexus
I was in 'two minds' about this cleaner.
I saw your comment on a similar channel, where the owner was very negative about it.
I'm going to follow your lead, and if it's rubbish. Your fault!
Best Regards, from England. 😅 👍
I agree with you , the trigger design is much better
I just used it! And the tirgger stopped working!! Please help me trouble shoot it!! The trigger is no longer actice no water goes up!!?? Why is that
I just bought it and I didn't set the mood hose right but I see how you did it,so that'll work for me🤣
You speak like a professional
I think it looks cool. I'm gonna check out the link u left for someone else and see what it's about. I hope it will work on my 10 gal. 🍄✌😎
I've heard good and bad comments about this product.
If I can get away not using electricity in the tank, then great!
Thank you. 👍 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
Hi im gonna get one, i have arthritus in my hands and gripping tubes make my hands ache. This seems a lot easier. Thanx for the review.
The pumping of the trigger is difficult
I need that in my life lol
I would like to have a video showing how to assemble the gun gravel Cleaner
So before I buy this, I see people are stating the trigger stopped working after the first or few tries. How often have you used this and did it end up failing for you? Thanks!
Nice one
Thanks for the thumb-up!
I bought a similar one. Thought it was brilliant at first, much easier than the siphoning I was using. But it only worked for half the tank and then the trigger stopped siphoning. Couldn’t work out the problem.
I like mine finna clean my tank today
I’ve had this in my closet for a month was nervous about how to use this helped a lot.
I know this is old..I need advice asap
I bought a Betta and a 2.5 gallon of tank..I know it should of at least of been a 5 to 10 gallon..
Ii keep his water at 78-81..I feed him daily sometimes twice..I feed him at 6am...but I turn his light on at 530am...lights out about 8pm
I noticed the aquarium I bought him the aquarium itself isn't the best.. aqueon 2.5 Betta fish aquarium..
I just ordered a sponge like filter so I'll try that out..but now my biggest issue
It seems like I have to clean his tank every other day...I want a siphon that holds up ..that does what it says and doesn't need too much maintenance
I want him to have a good life and not live in dirty water..so would you say this holds up to what it says
I ordered the cheapest one I could find got to send it back now after seeing this
Kinda neat. 🙂
I just got mine and it emptied 1/2 my 19 gal before I was even finished. I’m about to try it on my 29 gal now. It seems way better than the old ball style, but might be a bit much in my smaller tanks with lots of plants and hardscape to maneuver around
So you have to manually pump it out?
That would work great for spot cleaning several tanks, just walk around with a bucket.
it looks like it's a good product. i only have a 29 gallon and my vacuum with the fat tube is too fat. this vacuum looks better suited.
Darn... I just bought one of these... but the one with the pump not trigger... for sure a chore having just a pump
What dehumidifier do you use?!?!
Looks great, but the tube isn’t long enough for my tank? Can you get an extension for taller aquariums?
Hi Behemoth666, I think you gonna need to press more times on the trigger if you get an extension.
It comes with an extension.
I like it
Thank you for liking our products!
I bought one of these.
I have one then I got a python. I have to say the python doesn't get my tank nearly as clean so I use the gravel gun to clean and the python to refill.
I was really hoping I can use it as a siphon I don't have gravel for my turtle. And I'm having a problem the damn clamp comes off the bucket with the hose. I'm new to all this I'm just setting up my 75 gallon turtle tank I've never had a turtle before. I just want to get this done for the poor thing it's been in a 10 gallon tank for who knows how long.
year update? how long did yours last?
I think it's cool & I wanna try it.
Where can I purchase one
Here’s the link: ruclips.net/video/HDGW82sJI_U/видео.html
I quest I hit button but I figured I would make one from my old magium 350 so I have to do little work.
Just attempted to use this and it stopped working after 2 minutes. The suction just stopped for no reason 😕. That's what made me look up this video.
He's the diva for liking this thing. I just want him to stay on topic. Now I know about his floor sanding. Jeesh. How's the fam? FYI, I don't wanna know
Thanks for watching buddy!
Mine just came today, looking forward to giving it a shot (see what I did there) 😂😂.
Lmao
It crap the water leaked through the trggier and the suction is not working
I am moving at the end of the month. I'd love to see a video on how to go about this and not either screw up my cycles or break the aquariums all the way down.
Yikes. That’s a tough one to do a video on!
Pm me on fb and I can help you
@@PalmerAquatics sent you a pm thank you!
Not sure I saw it...
Trash
Is that a cheeseball container aquarium? 5:04
is this one still working after a year?
I’m new to aquariums. My mother has one so I’m forced to learn what the hell I’m supposed to do to keep a tank clean. It’s about 20 gal. I just need to clean the gravel, not suck up any or any water I know some water be removed of course.
Any help would be totally appreciated. 🐠 🎣 we gotta keep them happy and healthy. #fishlove 😀
I'm having this problem also with the hygger, I want to clean the substrate without draining tank but no luck
the first time i saw this, i said that thing looks cheap mostly because of the trigger spring reminds me a lot of the cheap spraying bottles so i didn't buy it 🤷♂️
but im still curious of how solid is the plastic and how soft is the trigger?
We struggled to make it work. No matter what we did, it wouldn’t get suction. We are looking for something different.
I love the cat my cat is the same she just wants to be involved in what I am doing
I own it and I use my python more. If you just have a small tank its a good buy, but for large tanks or many the python is still king.
Just save me some money 💰
I’ve got a Python and it’s crap for vacuuming just great for quick big water changes.
Python is fantastic for changing water, especially for larger tanks. This is more for precision vacuuming with the benefit of you not having to stick your hand in the tank water. Maybe you want to get some uneaten food out, or do some spot cleaning. I agree it's more useful for smaller tanks, as bigger tanks has better options. Still a nice tool to have.
I’m building a stand for my 50 gallon that I’ve been hoarding for a year or so. I am trying to get rid of my old 46 bow front bc I HATE it !! So I’m internally compromising bc I have an angel I refuse to re-home even tho he’s a giant bully.
Can relate to this comment. I have a 46 gallon Bow and bully angels that all have to live separately lmaooo
Does it work on pebbles ?
Well, it depends on the size of the pebbles. Should be way more smaller than 25mm.
@@Hygger-Aquarium thank you
👍
No live ?
Where can I buy it ?! Need it
Amazon!!
Here’s the link: ruclips.net/video/HDGW82sJI_U/видео.html
Nice video Chris!!!! Where is your lady friend?
Stopped working on the third use. Have tried to troubleshoot, taking apart and putting back together…no use, it’s crap
👍🏽👍🏽
This guy worked one time, and now I can't keep a seal or something for it to keep working. I liked it, and now I don't.
No , I have FX sixes and the gravel that connects right to it ...
it looks cool, but it doesn't create suction easily
It’s good but doesn’t look like it would work on tanks kept at a low height.
No problem. You can cut it shorter to use at fish tank at a lower height.
No way I have da pump 1 for lil cleaning and python for big changes . Even though this is the same as the pump one I like it because your hands don't get in the water And I'm buying it
no ones talking about the snail going on the water slide of his life at 3:30
Involved??? She wants to digest those fish😂
no one talking bout the snail that got sucked up at 3:30?
The trigger stops working, this is not a good product, water is barely pulling through the tube
I got it and the gun leaked like crazy
Take ten years to clean my tank with that little thing.
Like your videos and everything you do I don’t use the comment but I am a follower. I am now required a free 90 gallon tank making it rimless then I’m resealing it now taking out all the cock silicone and putting on aquarium safe and I did what you did I put a hanging light and I making this my focal point in our bedroom of all places. I’m gonna putFor baby Fantosa cichlids a pair of four babies
after watching michael's fish room vid of it, no I would not, he thought itwas junk
I had one it’s ok if you have a small tank but if you have a large one it’s Useless
Pond update
Okay 👌
You keep saying it comes with diff tips … it doesn’t it has one xxxxx
If you say deep dive one more time…
You should be working on doge coin 👌🏻👀👀
You think??
I just bought some earlier tonight... 😬
i like it, not a gun,,,, its a pump
Hello friend, I wonder if there is an opportunity to cooperate with you, although I know the probability of reply is extremely small, but there is a chance I still want to try, I want to invite you to take an unboxing video of our products
It is a piece of junk stopped working 2nd use. The trigger doesnt work . No water will go thru the tube.
Crap, never works properly can never keep it going!
Water your houseplants with that dirty water!
كذب كذب كذب
This thing is garbage do not buy. Mine worked for about 1 minute then would not suction anymore. Definitely not a good look. I was skeptical to even purchase and I should’ve went with my gut feeling about this product. It was a cool idea but very cheap quality
Hygger products overall are trash - Cheap azz stuff = JUNK
