If you are on about Siphoning the output end(where water exits) has to be lower than the input end(in the tank)

I usually place a container on the floor, this means I can put the input end anywhere in the tank.
(Be careful of small fish)

You want it as low as you can, without it sucking up your substrate, if you have sand. Most of mine are a couple of inches off the bottom.
