Me too! I suck at DIY. The only issue with the one in the video is he said it sucks up the sand and they haven't found a powerhead not powerful enough that will fit other material. What is your trick to using this with sand?

Edit: Never mind, you have already said.

If I find a cheap powerhead or external pump I shall make you
one for cheap, since I do owe that $5.00 lol hahaha.

Sucking up the sand and shifting it isn't a bad you know.
It's actually better since it'll thoroughly clean your substrate
preventing it from building up micro toxic pocket holes in
the sand. If those toxic pocket holes build up enough toxin
from all the bio waste and gets released it can be very
fatal to all of that tanks' inhabitants. Unless ofcourse you
have a moderately to heavily planted aquarium and/or
bottom dwelling fish or ray that shifts the sand to a point.

Dude...it took me like an hour to set up my maxijet powerhead.

It's my thread you owe me one too. I'll match her price. And I'm not concerned about shifting sand around, I'm concerned about sucking it all out of the tank.
