i had this problem with my 260L fluval tank

i used a length of hose and syphoned it right down,got some in my mouth though,yuk!!!!

then i lifted 1 end slightly,and got the rest,i needed help as the 260 tank is very heavy,if you have a small tank its shouldnt be to hard

is there still gravel in there?

You should be able to siphon down to 1/2" or less. Once it is this low, lift one end and continue siphoning the rest.

At this point the tank should be little more than wet, a large old towel soaks up the rest.
