I have sand substrate and as such I like to clean it every couple of days. This would normally mean syphoning, but this is too much hassle at this frequency. So i bought myself an Eheim Quick Vac Pro so i could clean more frequently. They are obviously designed for gravel and i found there was not quite enough suction, so i have modified it with some superglue and a hack saw. Basically i have made in the inlet smaller to induce more flow, and also have the flexibility of adding an elbow to get in those difficult spots. All i have to do now is move it about 15mm over the substrate and everything gets sucked up, i am well chuffed so i thought I'd share.
