poop siphon

[Fishie]

hey wamas, i am looking to find something that can siphon fat long poop that collects in certain dead spots from my fatty fish..

 

i've tried https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-TERAPUMP-Aquarium-Cleaner-Controller/dp/B011DDJZ9Y/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1503933727&sr=8-4&keywords=siphon+aquarium

 but it doesn't work for my needs...

 

i want something that i  can angle and is narrow enough for poop only...ideally i'd like to do this without getting my hands in the tank.

i have a lot of flow...this is certain areas that trap it due to to rock cave like layout

Just get a couple feet of 1/8" rigid airline tubing and attach it to a longer length of airline tubing. Then start the siphon the old fashioned way. Get several lengths of the tubing and bend some (using a heat gun) to meet your needs. When bending the tubing, try packing it with sand, salt, or baking soda before bending it to keep the inside of the tubing from collapsing. 

 

You can do something similar using a piece of acrylic tubing and a bulb syringe, too.

I use this for my breeding tank to siphon out the detritus.  You may need 2 or 3 of these though.

if the link doesn't work, just search for small vacuum attachment.  Btw, I only use the end with the brush and slim tubes that connect together.
