Sand Vacuum

[Ilikebutterflies]

OK. I finally got around to taking pics of my sand vacuum that I made to clean my sand and fry tanks. I LUV it because I can clean the sand without sucking up too much AND I don't have to get my hands in the tank. I do have an ad on the classified section if anybody wants one.

Way cool! I'm interested! Do you have a video of it in action?

[flyingpony22]

Yeah, I'd be interested in seeing a video too!

If I can figure out how to do it with my phone I'll take a quick video next weekend when I clean. I didn't even think about it this morning when I was cleaning the tanks but I did remember I was gonna post pics

Cool :) I'm assuming it's just gravity-activated?

OK. So I finally got around to making a video of my sand vacuum. I will apologize now as it is my first Youtube vid and I had to use my smart phone instead of the camera and tripod(if anybody knows what's up with the Nikon Cool Pix refusing to charge please tell me. I already bought a new battery and made sure the firmware was utd) so it gets shakey here and there. I should have killed the background lights as well but hopefully you get the idea.

What a brilliant idea! Works way better than I've seen others do, too!
