Hi guys - tried looking for this and I imagine it’s there somewhere but couldn’t find it. I’d like to do a bucket-less REMOVAL of water from the tank during water changes directly into a tub that is 10-15ft away from the tank, no elevation change. The motivation is to minimize carrying a 5 gal bucket full of tank water through a carpeted area (2.5-5gal is my likely water change amount per change). At the most basic level, I know I can just grab a utility pump and hold that in the tank while it pumps water through a line directly into the tub. But would I not lose out on the siphon’s advantage to gently sift the sand? Is there a setup with a pump that allows me to do this? I would use a python but none of my sinks are compatible.
Either that or I’m overthinking it and just let me know if that’s the case to. TIA
