chernyi Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Like the title says, I'm having problem with siphoning it to clean since there are a lot of baby shrimps there. I'm hoping with experienced people around here, there could be a solution/idea to this problem. Just sucked 10 of them in a bucket and poured them back. That scared me.

I just shoo them away before siphoning. Once I siphon, I put that water in a plastic container and then transfer any shrimp that came along. svetilda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jem_xxiii Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Use airline hose. It is much smaller and a little more controllable. It is a pain in the butt sometimes as it is not as strong as a regular siphon but it gets the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimple minded Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Turkey baster or Fancy Turkey basters + feeding tube: http://www.amazon.com/ATA01023-4-Piece-Coral-Aquarium-D%C3%A9cor/dp/B003XDGAAU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1458076218&sr=8-1&keywords=rio+coral+feeder chernyi and svetilda 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clansman Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Turkey baster extended with 10 mm rigid tubing , you get the perfect tubing from home brew syphon kits , don't even need hands in the tank steady and aim one hand work turkey baster other and you have great control even with shrimp in the dish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
