I am looking for a gravel siphon for my 5 gallon tanks.

I am currently using airline tubing, but it is hard to clean the substrate. If I use something too large, it creates a mess.

Does anyone have any experience with one of these or do you have any other recommendations?

I use the Python mini siphon. Link on my 12 gallon. It goes adequately slow and I bet it'd work on your 5.

The python you linked is the same as mine except mine has a 6" tube and yours has a 12". I went with the one above because it is the smallest I could find. I'm very happy with it. I needed something that went slow because my 12 long has a lot of gravel that needs to be cleaned before taking out too much water.

Thanks for the input. I checked out your 12 gallon. That is a sweet tank.
