So I currently have an Aqueon siphon thats good for "15-55" gallons.. its very bulking in my 10 gallon. I also have some excess [strike]airline[/strike] siphon hose tubing (forgot its the wider stuff x.x) I've used for the no-tecs and 3 gallon but have a hard time not sucking up plants or substrate. Since I am planning future tanks that will be smaller/shallower (including 2x 2gallons, a 7g cube, and a 12g long) I'd like to get an appropriate siphon(s) for them.
SO, I've looked into it a bit and found a few brands including: Mareinland Siphon Kleen "mini", Aquaeon "mini" 5 inch siphon vacuum, and Python pro clean mini.
Has anyone used one or more of these in nano tank(s)?
If so how did they work for you?
What tank did you use the siphon in?
Do you know/use other brand(s) that you'd recommend?
Do you just use a simple air hose (suck one end to get it started and go), if so what's your magic keep from sucking up sand/gravel/flora/fauna?
Or do you simply cup out water for w/c, if so whats your magic for getting organics off the bottom without uprooting plants or just making a big mess?
