So I've looked all over and can't really find a vacuum or something to vacuum with maybe during a water change that has good reviews so what do you guys use really need something soon.
 
Top Fin[emoji768] Aquarium Gravel Vacuum

I got mine from PetSmart. I think it does a great job when siphoning high to low, and if my bird's nest could stand it, I would vacuum my sand all the time. But now I use a pump to pump water change water from my sump to a bucket.
 
I like this one.

Fluval edge gravel vacuum. 15inch long tube, my tank is like 20 inches tall so once the return is off I don't have to have my whole arm in the water to use it

I have a 30' tall and that works great
 
Just gotta learn the trick of getting the cylinder to stir sand without totally sucking sand. Kinking & releasing the hose. Other than that there really isn't anything special to set one apart from another.

Ok thanks, I have a coral gravel top layer so that should make it easier.
