I was trying to siphon my sand bed today, but it was very difficult. I took many sand out of the tank. How can i siphon the sand bed without taken out so many sand?

I hole the hose in in hand and pinch it to control how much suction i am getting, as soon as I see the sand starting to rise i pinch. the more you do this the better you will get at it.

I need to practice more.....it is not that easy. I forgot to kink the hose many times :( My sand bed is 3 inch deep, how deep should I siphon the sand bed?
