is there a vacuum or something that can pickup food, ditritus, algae, etc, filter it and then return it?

Canister filter.is there a vacuum or something that can pickup food, ditritus, algae, etc, filter it and then return it?
should have mentioned im in a 15 gal lol. Just looking for basic filtration (very fine filter sock or smth).Canister filter.
or Siphon to filter socks in your sump
or Power-head in your filter sock plugged into a smart app, so you can turn it on and off easy.
easier to just do a water change tho.
On my smaller tanks, I just use a hose to filter sock in the sump method. I wish there were something like that for the large tank as the sump is in the basement. Sometimes, you just want to clean a bit, or are low on water.
I have thought of how to DIY one, but the hard part is finding a pump that will not actually be involved directly.
5 micron sock in bucket and pump back into tank. I like maxi pumps for that kind of workdealing with dinos
Thats a true statement. I use Marineland internal canister with Diatomaceous earth for a fine filter if needed. works for when i frag leathers in the tank and need extra carbon.Canister filter will do that. Throw in a sand sifter like a pistol shrimp and he'll throw all the crap that gets trapped in the sand into the water column to get sucked into the filter.

Thats the one pick up some Diatomaceous earth and it will filter 1 micron
Magnum polishing canister will get it done the easiet. Currently running it in my 20GH. I’ll post a pic shortly.
