Fluval 11077 ProVac Powered Aquarium Gravel Cleaner - Aquarium Gravel Vacuum

I’ve only used this once (on my 6 gallon and my 36 gallon tanks) and it did exactly what I was hoping it would!! Cleaned the food and waste from the bottom without a huge mess or trying to maintain the siphon. Beautiful product!! It took me all of about 15-20 minutes to do both tanks. It could be a bit longer in size for the larger tank but it still worked wonderfully. It runs quietly and doesn’t scare the fish. It’s not overly bulky or heavy, which makes holding it very easy. The cord is long enough to accommodate my needs. It auctioned up the food and waste quick quickly.

I'm on my one second because I abuse them...I love this thing..is it perfect..no..but so far it's the easiest one to use that I've experienced...my problem with this vac is that it's a little bulky for tight spots,the filters are reusable but only a few times and they're like 10 bucks for 4 like sell a pack or 10 or 20...and the price of the vac is alittle high but it is what it is...it's a great vac.. I love the led light...the only reason my first on died is because the wire got weird where it enters the handle and would cut out from time to time..I might try to open it up and fix it but I'm lerie with it being in water lol.its a great vac that works really well and when or if this one dies ill buy another.

I needed an electric vacuum or my low to the floor aquarium. This works pretty good for picking up muck without taking out water. It's very strong though so you have to watch out for your fish. It's bulky and a bit hard to move about the tank, but the pads of the filter collects everything while your water goes back to the tank. I would use filter floss to replace the pad in the future as paying $10 for a tiny pad to replace it is too high a price.Now to do a water change you don't get the hose and you take out the orange filter compartment to get to the area you put your own hose on. The tubing I have won't it over it. It's a 1/2" I believe. So I have to hold it in a bit with my fingers. It's a bit quirky and shouldn't have to do this with an expensive unit like this. It works though. Just clunky. Perhaps you could purchase a bigger hose...maybe 3/4" and it might slip tightly over the hole area (instead of 1/2" inside the hole). I don't know if there is standard aquarium tubing that is the correct size. Maybe someone could give me some ideas. For right now I am okay with a funky like way of doing water changes.This product feels a bit cheap. Not as bad as some electric gravel cleaners, but for me, the price should be maybe $35. I need a type of gravel vac as I said, to take out my low to the floor tank though so I am glad this works as good as it does. It takes out debris which is what I need for this tank right now. When the tank gets out of the "debris phase" I can just do more water changes with a little water pump and it will be much easier.You gotta do what you gotta do.This will do the job fairly easily, with a heavy duty flow intake if this is what you want. Just watch out for your fish..even though there is a protection grate over the flow intake but still it will suck in fish but at least they won't go into the impeller.All in all this is what I honestly think of the item.

I am absolutely disheartened and infuriated with my recent purchase of the Fluval 11077 ProVac Powered Aquarium Gravel Cleaner and Vacuum. After saving up for so long and eagerly anticipating its arrival for my turtle aquarium, I couldn't have been more let down.The product was delivered on time, and the package was undamaged, which gave me a glimmer of hope. Excitedly, I hurried to my aquarium, read the instructions carefully, and plugged the device in, expecting it to work wonders. To my utter sadness and frustration, the only thing that turned on was the LED light; the vacuum function did not work at all. Nothing. No suction, no cleaning. NOTHING.The disappointment I felt was crushing. I had envisioned a device that would make maintaining my aquarium easier and more efficient. Instead, I was confronted with a useless piece of equipment. The fact that I was so excited yet so let down made me want to cry.Now, to add insult to injury, I have to go through the arduous process of returning this defective product. My closest Amazon return facility is 10 miles away, and given the current 100° heat, this is not only inconvenient but also physically exhausting. The thought of walking 10 miles in such heat, just to return something that should have worked perfectly fine upon arrival, makes me even angrier.Fluval, you have severely disappointed a long-time customer. Your quality control should be better. This experience has completely shattered my trust in your brand. I expected a premium product given the cost and your reputation, but instead, I was met with a defective and useless device.You have not only cost me time and money but also caused immense frustration and physical inconvenience. This experience has been nothing short of a nightmare, and I can't, in good conscience, recommend the Fluval 11077 ProVac to anyone.Do better, Fluval. You've lost a loyal customer due to this sheer negligence and poor quality control.

Not good for 29 gallon aquarium. The water doesn’t expel from the filter well because it has to be submerged to reach the bottom. Necessitates an extension.Two speed suction seem to pull water at the same rate.Switch is push button and difficult to turn on and off. Also, you don’t know what speed the pump is because both speeds sound and feel the same.Only one filter comes with it which dirties quickly. The filter can be cleaned out but I don’t believe it will last long.What’s good is because the suction is so low, sand doesn’t easily get pulled up. However gravel, like Flourite, doesn’t budge. Making it tough to get anything off the substrate.It fits over some plants so diatoms and other debris can be cleaned off the leaves.I have three stars and that’s being generous. Glad I didn’t pay retail at 80 dollars, it’s not worth it.
