so satisfying ! i’ve been thinking of doing something similar but now, you got me motivated. and like you said, i already got all those parts ! thanks a bunch for sharing, you’re awesome !!

Wow! This is awesome! This has been a big frustration.

Wow! Such a great idea. I hate siphon only gravel vacs, gunk just lazily floats up the tube as water pours out of your tank. Not efficient in the least. This idea so perfect, and cheap to do. Thank you so so much for the idea and demonstration!

This will work great for my floor aquarium where I can’t use gravity for the gravel vacum. Thanks a bunch.

Sweet building one right now. Thanks for the vid!

Wow! Thank you so much! It is actually useful also for polishing water after water changes. My water gets cloudy sometimes so you could redirect the water exit through a hose to an empty hang-on filter and let it circle for half an hour.

I’m making one of these today! Great idea! I like gravel vacuuming to get rid of the fish’s you know what! I’m also going to make my own DYI for a water change that won’t waste tap water to drain out the dirty aquarium water, using this idea and a long hose similar to Aqueon’s hose. I’m just going to put the power head in the sink, with some water, of course!

Thank you so much for making this video! I have been looking for a way to make a gravel vac with a powerhead; I tried making the one that a mega-popular you-tuber demonstrates and it only works 50% of the time. His project has the powerhead remaining on the outside of the tank and you have to start a siphon on the output hose before turning on the pump and quickly jamming the hose into the tank to avoid spilling water everywhere. I wanted to make one with the pump IN the tank, and you just nailed it with this video!! I can't wait to make your brilliant version!!

Dear Angelo: This build looks like a fun project. I recently contacted my, municipal, water treatment facility to see what they use to make water potable. I was pleased to find that they use chlorine rather than chloramine. It's important to complete frequent, water changes. Basically, the more often an aquarist does them, the more healthful it is for the fish. On the other hand, the more intervention an aquarist makes to an aquarium, the more stress he places on his pets. So, if I'm going to use a water vacuum, I want to replace as much water as possible while putting as little stress as feasible on the tank inhabitants due to changes in water parameters. I have to balance frequency and amount of water changes with stress on the pets and plants. Thank you for showing us how to build and use this, terrific implement. It would be especially useful for heavily stocked tanks or particularly messy fish such as goldfish or plecostomus. All my best, Sincerely, E. J. Brinegar

Ty for this video, I think it could work for me. I have a 40 gal with one axolotl, the syphon cleaners I have now are junk, they suck more water then any actual debris. My question to you is could you recommend a powerhead that would be best for me, I use caribsea sand (sunset gold) it's pretty fine . Thank you for your time 🤝

Alright I ran into some problems. Need clarification do you close off air valve or just place intake sponge over it? Sponge seem to not want to stay on. Suction wasn't the best some debris would come up but not to polyfil. Seems like polyfil will clog up and stop flow. My power head is 350 gph. Tubing length is there a certain length? My length is 48". May be too long. Please help. Thanks.

Wow thanks..oh nice I can’t wait to hear about it. This particular brand is aquatop. you can get them off amazon for a fairly decent price.

Im interested in making one of this. But tbh I dislike the idea of the powerhead inside the tank, i know they are meant to be inside it anyway. Just I dont like it. (I want it to clean the bottom of a fish tub in my backyard) will it work if I plug a hose in the output of the power head? so the only parts in contact with the water are the input (siphon) and the output (the plain hose dumping the water back in the tank) like using the powerhead more like a regular pump. any advice? Thanks in advance

From where you get this white piece of plastic which connects with the power head?

I wonder if putting a sock on the outflow of the power head would make more sense?

Can you post or share a list of what you used to make this vac please. What make and model is that power head you use?

I was really angry this didn't work till I realized I was using a 150. Looking on amazon it is almost impossible to find a high gph powerhead shaped like that. Majority of them are using a large fan style intake not a nozzle style.

I understand that you don’t want to pull out your fry but how do you keep the ammonia down under those circumstances? I have a baby snail tank that is difficult to clean
