Canister gravel cleaner...

[fleabilly]

Could this be done....?

If I put a t valve on my intake to may canister filter, (eheim 2217) turn it off,
Redirect the water to a flex tube turn it back on so that I can then use the flex tube to clean the tank...
Is this mad?
Or has it been done.
Seems like it would make sense, and would simplify clean up.

I'm guessing you mean the water will still return to the tank... if so then yes, a little mad, you will benefit far more just by removing the water entirely. It will also make a right mess of the filter that you will then have to clean afterwards which is pain.You can never do too many water changes.
Also adding a T valve will reduce the flow from your filter which is always bad.

Slow day at work,
Thinking of time better spent.
Or not.
