Anyone found a cleaning tool that is a brush attached to a hose? Similar to the fry tank attachment at seahorsesource? Love that thing for an airline and cleaning fry tank but would take a LONG time to clean a 75 gallon. Seen anything similar elsewhere but for bigger tanks?
 
Just grab yourself one of those vacuum brush attachment and rig it to a 1 inch hose. Then siphon the regular way.

You can even put a valve on it so u can adjust how fast it siphons
 
I picked up a bucket head shop vac from Home Depot and there's a small brush attachment that I also picked up there. Its great for cleaning and scrubbing the sump out and I always know exactly how much water Im taking out, as the vac stops when its filled. It makes cleaning and water changes a snap. Not bad for less than $40 :)
