aquarium vacuums

[stivhixon]

Quick question, I have alot of debris on the bottom of aquarium, I bought one of those tubes that empty the water and at the same time you vacuum the gravel. Problem is, is that it empties the water to fast while I am vacuuming, so Im not gettin alot of debris out in that short time. Any recommendations on a battery operated vacuum that only vacuums the gravel while not emptying any water? or is there such a thing?

sounds like you may need to be vacuuming more often so the debris doesn't build up in the first place.

You could always pour the water back in through a net and gravel vac it again.

I've ordered a, PGR 1000 Power Gravel Cleaner, its not battery but electric though.

Battery operated Gravel vacs are available, I bought mine from 'The Range', cost about £14 I think but I have since seen them in fish stores. I wouldn't be without it, it works really well.
