I am not interested in vacuuming the substrate or live rock. But, having very recently realized that I have a flat worm infestation and reading about various methods for their removal. This comes down to melanurus wrasse or Flatworm Exit ... natural versus chemical.
Part of the chem process is siphoning out as many of the little critters as possible. Being new to this level of maintenance, this sounded like a complete PITA (not the bread). I just searched for "aquarium vacuums" and a few battery powered devices show up. They range from ~$15 to just over $100 & would seem to take the PITA out of the siphoning and enabling spot, ad hoc siphoning without without the drama of a large water change ... the water is returned to the tank. I see any sort of project siphoning these little critters up will be time consuming & would probably pull up a considerable amount of water.
I searched thru the forum's product reviews and found no comments about these. So, anyone have experience with? Anyone's thoughts?
