Aquarium Cleaning

[windandfire12]

I would like to know the name of a good Aquarium Cleaner and a good price if possible from anyone. I'm not looking for snails or shrimp, but, a siphon. Any ideas out there?

Well the sludge extractor is great. It is kind of expensive($79.99). If you cant find it in a local aquarium store buy it at Doctors Foster and Smith. If you dont know what is Doctors Foster and Smith then go to the topic in hardware called Free Aquarium catalogs. Hope this advice helped you.

Sludge extractor may not really be what you're looking for if you're looking for a siphon. The sludge extractor is the "I want to clean my tank out but not really a waterchange" tool. For a really cheap price (US $10-$29) you can get a really cool product called the simplesiphon(http/www.siphonsonline.com/). I have one on order and I can't wait to get it, I heard about it from a fellow aquarist. It allows you to start the siphon with NO human interaction other than shaking it in the water (sounds weird, but see the demo on their website). And, since no one wants to risk getting some of the weird crap that can make it's way into fish tank (no less than tuberculosis and a few other serious lesionary issues..), it's a great way to go. Avoid tank-mouth!
