Could this be used in an 180 gallon indoor fish pond? Can it pick up that type of dirt?

Yes. Depending on how much sand you need to pick up and how much time you have. I use this to pick up sand in my Hot tub brought in by grand children works great!

I would say yes but I would also think it would take a good amount of time using this type of vacuum to clean a fish tank of that capacity.

It would work good I think. It gives you good control and would certainly be faster than scooping. It is good at sucking the yuk out of the water.

Yes, I have used it in a 16,500 gallon pond. It will work and absorb ammonia. Also used it when adding water to the pond, because if you break down chloramine with carbon, you get rid of the chlorine but then are left with ammonia. this will absorb the ammonia left over. Also good if you just have too much ammonia . It can be recharged when it stops working, lots of good articles about recharging it with salt are on the web.

Yes, that is exactly why I purchased mine. My inground pond holds about 100 gallons of water. As earlier stated, you might need to remove some water from your pond after cleaning as it constantly fills up while you are vaccuming.

I live on a farm and there is an extremely large amount of dirt that gets blown around. I bought mine 2 years ago and have just started on my third season. It is the best thing I have bought to pick up the dirt, love it! I have an Intex, 15x4 size pool. I agree with a previous post that if you run around a few times by the edge of the pool, it takes everything to the middle and you just sweep it up. I recommend this product all the time.

This is not really designed to be a cleaning filter in my opinion. It is more of a fountain waterspray than filter. My recommendation would be to get a regular pond filter, especially if you plan on having any fish or plants.

We have a 300 gallon coi pond. I really think we need a bigger filter. So this filter would just about right for 100 gallons. But this is only my opinion and I am not a fish pond expert.

yes. buttttttt. i would not recommend this product. it didn't catch as much debris as i wanted even though it was rated for a large pond. it also came loose and i lost all of my pond water:( rating scale 1-5.....a "0"

I use mine for a small pond. The bag flops when it gets heavy so you have to change it often. I does the job!

i think it would work great for about any size up to even 30 gallons because you use it to pick up the debris, not to totally empty out the tank - its better for the fish that way and you get out what you need to. It can also transfer water pretty quick, so this would work with even a larger or smaller tank than 10 gal :) good luck

It does a good job of picking up everything - my pool was dark green & in 3 weeks I had the water clear - The only things I did to it was shock , algaecide , run the Dolphin & backwash - The machine comes with 2 sets of filters - one is a finer filter to pick up much smaller particles - I used that one after picking up the bigger debris with the first one - So I would say yes , it does pick up dead algae -

yes it would... you would probably need to clean the filter more often if you use a lot of air... that is a big tank and this is a small filter but it would work... personally I would get a bigger one if I had a 60 gallon tank...

It will work fine.But my 2 cents is save your money on that product and do more water changes. Better for the fish.

Hi, all we can say is it is working well for a 100 gallon pond. We do need to clean our filter often.

I use it in a 175 tub for a 10" red eared slider turtle, I works well. I use it as pre-filter and a pond 2 gallon sealed barrel bio filter as a polish filter, and a pond pump.

I wouldn't recommend this for fish its fine grain would clog up a filter system. Its geared for reptiles and such.

I have a 95 gallon tank and it does the jo. It cleans any debris that gets buried under the gravel. I Have both large and small gravel in my tank and have no problems at all. Just make sure to dismantle it after use and clean away the larger pieces of debris that collects. Otherwise your vacuum will begin to smell. I'm not sure if this vacuum is meant for my tank but it does the job that I need and it does it well. I hope this helps you.
