I see alot of professional aquascapers use a 'hoover' on their fish tanks after planting to remove floating plants etc, where can i get one of these? James Findley used one.

Good idea Batman, simple but effective. Can use bottle size to suit aquarium, 500ml to 5lt or anything in-between.ian_m said:I use a 2l coke bottle with bottom cut off, making a funnel shape, with a bit of filter foam wedged in. Push below surface, water pours in, lift up water goes through foam catching all the plant cuttings, scum etc. Easy peasy, no power needed, just rinse foam in bucket of fish water when finished. Job done.
Something like below.
I have another coke bottle shaped into a "scoop" for applying more substrate or moving substrate as well as scooping water out of my filter after cleaning.sr20det said:Good idea Batman, simple but effective.
