are these worth getting or a waste of time

I personally don't like them. I think that if you need to get rid of detritus then you may aswell do a small water change at the same time using a good old syphon and with global warming becoming a bigger issue every day, we shouldn't use electricity where possible

dont you have sand?

If used with care they can be used on sand

stopping the eco war here.....

they are good for picking uplarge items but the smaller stuff gets through the netting... its far easier to just use a siphon pump.

Complete waste of your cash, give it to charity and have good karma for the day

True. I am not an eco freak, and im ok with having 3 fish tanks running 24/7. But my point is if we have tools that work perfectly well without using electricity, then why not use them?
