Removing gravel ideas

[upyor]

I used a 2" tube to siphon out the gravel. which works really well but this removes alot of water. i removed about 50% of the gravel in a 180g tank and also removed about 40% of the water. which is good cuz i ended up doing a water change. but the bad thing is i gotta wait about a week to remove the other half of the gravel..

I was wondering if there are any other better ideas on removing gravel out there! post some ideas!

Use a net then siphon out the left overs.

i was thinking that but i didnt want to dirty up the water at the same time.. but most likely i will end up netting up the rest.. lol

what i use is a easter bucket with very tiny holes in the bottom for drainage. when u do this, do a water change at the same time youll remove more gravel and all the dirt will be sucked into the spihon
