Tank sand cleaner

Here is my version. Works like a charm. This is how I siphon the crap out of the bottom of my tank. I control the flow and rate of suction through the ball valve.

Very nice. How wide is the tubing you put into the sand?

Good idea... are you able to effectively control the ball valve with one hand?

No. But it’s a set it and forget it while you’re cleaning. Once you get the suction going regulate it to where you want it and done.
