I updated the Aquarium Cleaning article with much more expanded information about starting a siphon and troubleshooting this process. Renee gave me the idea that more was needed in this area of aquarium cleaning information. Aquarium Cleaning; Siphon Starting, TroubleshootingCarl |

Thanks for updating your article Carl. I read the siphoning section and watched your video (minus sound, I couldn't figure out how to get it to work on my mom's computer). I'm pretty sure I understand how to start it with the up and down motion aside from one thing.
Do you get all of the air out of it before you start it with the up and down motion or do you not? I'd assume you would do this with the opening to the bell underwater so air doesn't get inside the bell.
It'll proably be a while before I clean out my tank with my Lee's Gravel Vaccum just because I thoroughly cleaned my 40 gallon tank and it doesn't get dirty quickly at all.
Thanks again for the update.
Renee

Yes, I evacuate all "bubbles" with the up and down method.
