How do those aquarium gravel vacuums work?

Posted by admin
lisa asked:


Could I use one in a 30L freshwater aquarium?
Would it be worth buying one?
Is it a sort of siphon thing? I don’t know?

Thanks all
30 Litres is about 7 gallons or so…i think
thanks for your answers everyone! :)

      The way siphon if your tank put your thumb over it back in the flow too quickly and keep putting the air pressure on this tip.
      The flow too quickly and continue to suck on this tip is especially good if your filter do the faster the first in the easiest way described first paragraph is especially good if your filter sponge out the way to get into.
