Product Detials

Dymax Mini Vac is a small, easy‑to‑use gravel vacuum perfect for nano and small aquariums. Regular water changes and substrate cleaning are essential for keeping fish, shrimp and plants healthy, but standard siphons can be bulky and awkward in compact tanks. Dymax Mini Vac is designed to solve that problem with a slim profile and controlled flow that works beautifully in tight spaces.
Whether you keep shrimp, nano fish or a carefully scaped planted tank, Dymax Mini Vac helps you remove fish waste, uneaten food and detritus from the substrate without tearing up your layout.

Why Use the Dymax Mini Vac

Dymax Mini Vac is ideal if you:
  • Have nano or small aquariums where full‑size siphons are too large
  • Want to clean gravel and sand without disturbing plants and hardscape
  • Need a simple tool for regular water changes and quick clean‑ups
  • Keep shrimp or delicate fish and want more control over the siphon flow
With Dymax Mini Vac, you can:
  • Siphon water into a bucket for partial water changes
  • Gently vacuum debris from between gravel or around decorations
  • Reach corners and tight spots that larger vacuums miss

Features of Dymax Mini Vac

While the product page doesn’t list specs, Dymax Mini Vac typically offers:
  • Compact gravel tube sized for nano and small tanks
  • Flexible hose for easy positioning into a bucket or drain
  • A design that allows for controlled siphon flow, helping protect shrimp and fry
  • Lightweight construction that’s easy to handle and store
Because of its size, Dymax Mini Vac is especially handy for:
  • Shrimp tanks and invertebrate setups
  • Planted nano aquascapes where precision matters
  • Hospital or quarantine tanks that need frequent small water changes

How to Use Dymax Mini Vac

Using Dymax Mini Vac is straightforward:
  1. Place a bucket below the aquarium.
  2. Submerge the vacuum tube and hose to fill with water and start the siphon (by your preferred method).
  3. Gently push the intake end into the gravel or sand to lift debris while allowing the substrate to settle back down.
  4. Move slowly across the substrate, focusing on dirty areas and dead spots.
  5. Stop once you’ve removed the desired amount of water (commonly 20–30% for routine changes).
For shrimp and fry tanks, you can partially cover the intake with your fingers or use a pre‑filter sponge to make Dymax Mini Vac even safer for tiny livestock.
