This is the latest attempt at looking for a better way to siphon aquariums. Thanks to Steve Poland Aquatics for offering the challenge, I hope what I came up with give you (and others) some great ideas of your own.

If I was to build this a second time I would skip the polycarbonate lid and use a thick plywood lid to avoid all of the hot glue mess. I would also likely lower the barrel height to allow the vac to stay primed more easily between tanks.

Have any ideas on how to make this better? Drop them in the comments below, or build it yourself! I'd love to see what you come up with.
