I need to move my 200 gallon african cichlid tank.
Is there an easy way to remove the current substrate? It consists of pfs and crushed coral

Any ideas would be appreciated

Its pratically a 4 foot by 4 foot tank with narrow access openings. Its very hard to reach the middle and the back of the tank

Would a dry vac work. Or will it clog?

I have no idea about the vac but you could get s dust pan with a long handle

If you get a length of wide diameter hose you can syphon it out , I recently syphoned all the coral gravel out of an old Malawi tank 4ft'r to house my jag pair in , I used a wide piece of hose used for pond plumbing
