removing gravel??

[MANGCH1]

if you had a thin sandy subtance like gravel. what would be the easiest method of removing it? while the tank is filled with an occupant inside =)

1 inch hose, sucks it up in a hurry. I removed about 200 pounds in about 15 minutes.

anyone have any secrets or tips?

Well, if you didnt like my idea, you could just use an $800.00 Dyson vaccuum cleaner then or a sharp blow to the bottom of the tank, that should clear out the gravel in a jiffy. J/k.

Go to a good lfs so you can be sure to get an aquarium grade hose, clear called Tetra Tubing. And yes there are grades of hose you do not want to use in an aquarium, so... get the 1 inch diameter hose. You can buy it by the foot and there ya go
