Currently in my 150 I have a sand bottom and when I go to vacuum it I have the worst time being able to actually siphon out any solid waste. I have the Python system, both the 25 and 50 feet ones, and even with both my hot and cold water turned on at full blast there is not enough suction. I'll swirl the tube over the sand and the debris will go into the tube then just kind of float in there. Right now I'm having to collect as much as I can, flip the tube upside down and coax the material to get towards the hose in order to be removed. It's a common occurrence for the debris to just swirl right back out of the tube and spread all over my tank and in the water column. Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions on a better siphon just to vacuum the sand or to increase the suction? The tank is on the bottom level of the house and five feet out of the window is my pool which I really don't feel like draining into, so throwing the hose out the window to increase force isn't an option.
