i would say it depends... 26 is really deep. if you are willing to do some handyman type and DIY siphon phyton type. on my 180 it is 24 inch deep. and im no 6 foot tall guy to reach it. i am doing a custom 1" vinyl tubing, 1" hosebar, 1.5 pvc pipe, 1.5 x 1 inch reducer slip. i'll post some picture to show the project when done. 1/2" phyton will do no good on a 180 gal tank with gravel. they won't even lift the gravel.
