Could you give a little more information about what this "air vac"? I'm not sure what you are talking about from the name.

I believe that these battery powered gravel vacs have been discussed several times in the past and the general consensus was always that they aren't worth your money. You're much better off with a regular gravel vac or python style vac. If you're going to gravel vac you might as well do a water changes at the same time.
