I have a small aqueon gravel vacuum to Siphon detritus from my tank but it's so strong that it sucks two gallons out of my five gallon tank before I can even make a decent pass around the tank to clean the detritus out.
I've tried raising the bucket from the floor to a chair to slow the suction but it's still draining too quickly for me to clean The open area of the tank let alone the harder to clean areas around heavily planted areas or around the hard scape.
I got a baster because I've heard people use those to clean out detritus but the poo just falls back out of the tube when I lift the baster out of the water.
Does anyone have advice on how to slow a siphon so I can clean?
(I do water changes at the same time so I'm not opposed to sucking out a lot of water, it's just coming out too fast.)
Thx
