SUNSUN AX-2205 Electric Siphon / Gravel Cleaner

Description

The AX-2205 Electric Siphon / Gravel Cleaner is perfect for those who wish to regularly siphon detritus without conducting a water change at the same time. Especially in the case of a quarantine tank or such, where the water has been treated with medication.

This is achieve by an electric power head which draws the water up through the siphon pipe, and returns it directly into the tank.
Rate of flow for the AX-2205 (22w) is strong and therefore suggested to be used in much larger tanks.

It is also advised to “dust” the substrate should you wish to used it in a carpeted tank. This helps stir up the detritus for siphoning, without the greater risk of the siphon uprooting the plants.

Using the SUNSUN AX-2205 Electric Gravel Cleaner in Singapore Tanks

What makes the AX-2205 handy here is that it lets you spot-clean substrate without dumping and refilling water, so you avoid the temperature swing that comes from pouring fresh tap into a 27-29C tank. We see plenty of hobbyists in HDB and condo setups who only want to lift mulm from one corner each week. Because it pumps internally and returns water to the tank, there is no bucket to lug across the kitchen and no bending over a full siphon hose.

It is especially useful on quarantine or hospital tanks where the water carries medication you do not want to discard. Run it slowly over the base, let the mesh trap waste, and the dosed water stays in the system. For deeper substrate beds we still recommend periodic manual vacuuming, but for routine touch-ups between full changes this electric unit keeps detritus from building into the kind of sludge that fuels nitrate spikes in our warm climate.

Pair it with a proper schedule and the right manual tools from our cleaning and maintenance range. Our gravel vacuum and siphon guide explains when an electric cleaner beats a gravity siphon, and our water change guide covers how often to still do full changes alongside spot-cleaning.
