Will this be able to suck large, heavier excrements from Tiger Oscars?

William, I am not sure but when this item works, it's fabulous. My issues were it didn't work for very long. The company is, however, finally replacing it under the warranty. It took a while since they are based in Germany but they say it's on the way.

I don't know about Oscar excrements, but I have 3 Red eyed slider turtles, and they are like playdo factories when it comes to eating and... the EHEIM vacuum sucks everything up. I find if I did it every week (which I often forget to do) I don't have to clean the filter as often. I have the Filstar L filter or whichever one is for 175 gallons in a 50 gallon tank and because turtles do create much more excrement than fish have read you need a filter twice the size of the recommended gallons. I also think the use of the EHEIM vacuum has been great. I read lots of reviews before I bought the EHEIM and did not see a complaint. One pieve of advise was to tilt it when putting it down in the tank to start the vacuum (if it doesn't seem like it is sucking) and found that to be good advise to have before owning it. Hope this helps.

I used to have Oscars but not since this device came out. I took it apart and looked at the intake "hole" through which increment travels. The hole is rectangular and is larger than the circumference of a No. 2 pencil. Weight wise this will suck rocks part way up the tube so I think that it should be able to handled larger fish droppings. Hope this helps. If nothing else it will break it apart and suck it up. When the filter is full you empty it, rinse it out and go back for more.

I believe so, as I have very large cichlids and it had no problems in cleaning my tank. As I see it, the problems are different. One thing is your gravel. If it is thin, sand-like - it will stop working. Second - if your fish tank is deeper than the device - water might drain into the battery compartment as it is very delicate and not really sealed.

If this wrench cannot handle your large filter then it has got to be about the biggest filter out there. So I say 'no problem'.

With my experience it will suck up the dirt.The suction seems to be powerful but it also depends on the size of your pump. I have a larger pump so it has powerful suction. If there are any larger pieces like very small rocks it might not get that (it might just push them out of the way) but as long as it is sand or dusty type dirt it should eventually get it all.

I think it will because the "jaws" close tight together...it scoops everything my nine dogs can put out , weather it is runny or like a brick - good luck but I think you will love it and it will work just fine.

It will but it will take more time, I found it best to rack in a piles and vacuum up it save a lot of room in the can and believe me I had a lot of leaves large to small it worked fine and I found the blower to be very powerful. of course all the old timers had to pass by to see it.

Yes. It doesn't have a strong motor, but will suck up anything on the surface of anything.

Agree with Oscar.. it's not top of the line by no means but will get the job done..its powerful

I don't see why it wouldn't. It is a non-discriminatory apparatus. I'm sure it will have the normal limitation regarding weight. I kind of wonder the same thing about wear that Jakob has mentioned, but I am not sure if it is any more or less durable than a shop vac.

No. it actually works better the higher it is because it pulls better than it pushes. Moving it to the high point of the pumping cycle takes full advantage of its suction strength.

Not well, you will have to constantly wait for it to pump up. I've got a 20 gal and in my opinion it's borderline capable.

I dont know sorry maybe yes its strong i use to suck air for ziploc storage bags only but i clean my sofa and was good

This is the best little tool on the market. Yes, it will suck up any amount of water. 1000 gallon an hour.

I really don't think it would work as it needs that suction through the vac to suck all the debris off the surface of the pool.

Probably not. You have to empty the rubbish canister way too frequently and the filter is gross to deal with. When you the filter gets clogged up with pet hair and debris the machine stars to push rubbish out of the machine instead of sucking it in. Before it gets clogged up it works fantastic, just a word of caution I only have one dog that a small Chi-Corgi mix. Your Mother's cats would produce decidedly more hair than one dog. Hope this helps.

mema666, i think the issue would be how hard you thing is sucking. i have not seen my do this. maybe test the pressure that is being sucked up?

No, it'd be fine. A 55 for a single Oscar is a good tank. He'll get to be 10" if you feed goldfish. These "blowers" I call them move a lot if water because they suck from the sides and blow outlet the front. Put one in the lower rear corner opposite your filter intake, blowing back across the front of the tank. It'll help keep the crap ( and Oscars crap like small dogs) from acumulating. Good luck. You won't be disappointed with these things. I have two in my 110 tall tank.

It can, but it will be a matter of speed and pressure to get the desired results. I'm sorry I can't be move specific than that.
