This is my BOOM STICK !!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
It should start the same as any normal siphon. Submerge the end and start the siphon however you normally do. The length of hose shouldn't affect it much, if at all.
 
Really kool idea! have you given it a try to see if it works? if it does I so need one of those!
 
Nice idea, def let us know how it works.. I have lots of extra pvc i'll have to make one.. :)
 
should work great.On some of the longer vac tubes the pressure isnt there,but on yours the wide vac part is no longer than any regular vac.Nice work.

What a great just incredibly wrong movie series
 
This thing was great! It felt the same as vaccuuming the floor. I was able to stand in front of the tank and clean the gravel across the entire tank. I just started at the back and worked my way to the front without having to have water up to my armpit like I used to.
I started the siphon as usual, I just submerged the boom stick side ways in the tank and a few moments later I was cleaning.
I couldn't take good pics of it in action, I was the only one at home, but I'll have my wife take some this afternoon.
I will also post details of how I built it along with pictures tomorrow. I should have taken pics while I was building it but I didn't think of it.
I already have a few ideas to possibly improve the Boom Stick, but I just wanted to let you all know that it worked!
