Syphon tubing ?

[reef dummy]

Has anybody used one? Would make water changes easier on my small tank. Amazon doesn't list what it's made of but it looks like copper. other reefers have used it but thought I'd ask you good folks first.

If you're pulling out only you'd probably be okay. You close to a sink? Get a python

This is only 8 bucks though. I was concerned about the metal on it. Probably will be fine.

Hm. Didn't look at price. As long as copper is post tank and not sitting in the water should be fine. Might need to rinse salt off to extend life after use.

Also didn't read how it works. Id hesitate and shy away from using it because that copper piece is in the tank.

Here works the same but has a tube to siphon gravel/sand

This is what I use, at least the newer version, easier on a smaller tank

just buy some clear tubing at HD. I bought some long enough to reach my sink and use a little pump to go from tank to sink.
