Aquarium vacuum recomendation?
 

I would like to vacuum the detritus from my sump, as well as broken strands of cheato from the refugium. Looking for something simple and cheap and would prefer not to use a turkey baster

Something like this perhaps?
Aquarium vacuum

Gravel vac thing with a maxi jet

I thought about doing that but noticed 2 problems. The pick-up tube on the pump needs to be fully submerged to begin suction...and that thing pushes out alot more water than I'd need it to

Ehiem power vac works awesome, Jl has them. Go get one!

Thanks for the advice, just pm'd someone :)
I do like the looks of $10 better than $55 but i trust your advice more than fleabay

Cheers

clear hose, mouth suction, and a bucket-that's how i clean my tanks;i also use various sizes of hose

Forgot to mention the sump is under the display on the floor

shop vac works great:)

Yeah it would. You'd finish your vacuuming in about eight seconds...

I have the ehiem power vac too. Too much suction to use it on my sand but for cleaning out a sump it's perfect.
