    Default Best Water Vac?

    Can anyone recommend a good water Vac for a 2ft deep tank? The one I'm currently using is good, however the initial tube is thin so takes ages to do substantial water changes.

    Thanks in advance!

    Do you have a substrate or is your tank BB?

    I use the eheim electric gravel vac to go over my sand and clean it during every water change. Then, I use a submersible pump to take water out and put fresh water in. It's more efficient than a gravel vac will ever be. This is the pump I use: https://www.amazon.com/VIVOSUN-Subme...s%2C126&sr=8-5
    I attach 1 inch ID tubing to it.
