Avoid eating meaty foods and eat one pea every day for a week. And check your skull for dents.
It's true, though. Any hose at all can be used without sucking on the end. Once you have it filled with water, cover both ends and hold one end in the tank, and the other over the bucket. Open the line and gravity will do its thing.
But remember that a siphon with a small opening into the tank can suck eyes out of fish, so you might want to silicone a soda bottle or something onto the end to disperse the suction power there.
