Lee's Ultimate GravelVac Cleaning Claw

I'm so glad they make these spare parts. After years of use the teeth were slowly breaking off of my old attachment, but the rest of my GravelVac was still in great condition. It is nice not to have to buy a whole new GravelVac (which is all I could find in local stores) just because one attachment has had too much wear and tear.

I ordered this piece to replace one that had come with my 25' water changer it somehow got lost and I sure didn't want to spend another $40 to replace the whole system. It's sturdy, fits the vacuum tube just right, and everything works properly. Thumbs up.

I've always used a nylon stocking to cover the intake of my Python brand gravel vacuum/water changer when I wasn't using it to vacuum and wanted to keep fish from getting sucked in while changing the water. The nylon is drippy after, and it doesn't look professional (I clean tanks.) While this Lee's Cleaning Claw doesn't keep small fry from getting in like the nylon stocking, it does keep regular fish from getting in and looks more professional. It also aerates the returning water a bit more when refilling the tank.

As a gravel cleaning attachment, I don't get good results with either a deep bed of Flourish or a thin bed of regular gravel, so I continue to use the tube uncovered. However, I could see that it would be a good implement for poking around the deep recesses of a heavily-planted aquarium to just get the mulm on the surface of the substrate without accidentally sucking up an unseen fish.
