FAQ
Will it fit a non-Lee’s gravel vacuum?
It is designed for 1/2″ or 3/8″ I.D. hose, which covers most aquarium siphons on the market. If your hose matches either size, the bulb will work.
Is it safe for reef tanks?
Yes, the materials are inert and safe for both freshwater and saltwater systems, including reef aquariums.
How do I prime it?
Submerge the gravel-vac end in the tank, give the bulb two or three firm squeezes, and the one-way valve will hold the flow once water starts moving.
