I have several two story tanks. I keep grow out tanks on the bottom level. I am trying to find a pump which will be strong enough to clean the bottom of the tanks, It is very slow and not enough flow to use the old way of your mouth and get a good siphon going. If possible I can put a hose out a door (so it stands lower or even with the tanks) I picked up a simer ulitity pump 1/2 horse, I had about 6 feet of hose going from the tank to the pump so i could go from one tank to another. and then on the out I had a 25 foot house to go outside through the door. It got a siphon but was really too slow to suck up the dirt on the bottom of the tank, Any idea on what I should buy? thanks in advance.
