Not sure if it'd work on my tank since it's larger than the model is ranked for...and definitely not as cost effective as the other methods mentioned, but a cool product.

what i do is take the power head an use it to stir up the sand with it an let the filteration so do the work of cleaning. or use the same power head up the water in the 100 micron sock .
Do that with the powerhead an the sock the water will be crystal clear!

or you can do that but that takes longer and its pita there are brand name ones they cost around 75-120$+

Yeah I looked at the Amazon reviews and there were some pretty bad ones all complaining about the same thing. I'm going to try my hand at your idea using a 185 gph pump. But seriously, if you find yourself just bored and wanting to build something...I'll buy it.

I'm actually setting up few more tanks right now cause I got bored, so I'm going to make one. I'll make a couple more if I can find some more power heads or pumps lol.

I have not. The smaller tube I have doesn't fit the hose on the python and I haven't had a chance to run to the store to find one.

Well God mother f'ing dammit. I just bought all the stuff on Amazon to make one. I ended up going with this pump, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D5WH6FW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and then just some vinyl tubing and some ball valves that are designed to control water flow. Question on the ball valve, should I place it on the intake side of the pump or the output side? I'm guessing the intake. Again, I'm awful at DIY so if this doesn't work out I will still be wanting to buy one. Most likely I'll be looking to buy one.
