Cleaning A 5 Gallon

[murphyk32]

Ive been keepin fish for a year and a half now, and cleaning isnt an unknown aspect of it for me, but im used to cleaning my 55 gallon.. i have a 5 gallon in need of a major cleaning, but theres no way my gravel vac is gunna go in there.. any ideas how to do it? thought bout relocating the fish temporarily but there isnt much options of where to put them as i cant put them in the 55, it is shark filled plus id nvr find the kuili loaches again..

you could take the actually gravel vac off and just use the tube

thought of it but its one where you have to move it up and down to get it started and id never get it going in the small tank,

I dont, I suck on the other end. there was about 1 litre of water left in my 16 gal and the gravel vac still got it out

Lol, any gravel vac or hose can be used as a syphon, They usually are more effective when used this way too.
