ABSTRACT:
A device for cleaning and removing debris from aquariums includes a tubular housing defining a chamber, a rotating shaft extending through the chamber and protected from an end thereof, an agitating brush mounted on the end of the shaft. A power source, such as a portable electric screw driver, is connected to the other end of the shaft for rotating the agitator to dislodge debris from the aquarium. A siphon tube is communicated with the chamber and draws water, with the debris enframed therein, into the chamber and then to a siphon tube for filtering and disposal.
