Solution to weak siphon?

[Mavric]

I have two different siphon vacuums, one has a long skinny tube to get into tight spots and the other is meant for quick water changes. Both of them are pretty weak when it comes to picking up crap off the bottom (I am currently doing a bare bottom setup). How do I get a powerful siphon strong enough to pick up most small particles and still be able to get into the smaller spaces?

Just use a piece of hose without the large tube at the end. Holding your thumb iver the end of the hose will control the flow

Use bigger hose.
