I’ve purchased the marina gravel cleaner doesnt seem to me picking the water up i don’t expect u to know what one but i cant find any videos of it being demonstrated
Id join a discord.... :)
I am shocked at the sheer amount of filth in your gravel,,,,,, that cant be optimal water for your fish to live in,,, the total amount of filth I would collect over 20 full vacuum cleanings of my 40 gallon tank with a dozen fish in it would not add up to one suction with your vacuum in your tank, gross.
Gv
that was probably the most educational video i've seen in a long time. How did I not know this until now?
@Keane Mahony That's not what he meant
I've just added an almost identical comment I cant believe I've been doing it the hard way for so long lol
I just said the same thing to my girl, been doing tanks for yrs and never thought to do that technique
I feel the exact same way!! I’ve watched hundreds of hours of aquarium videos over the years and I have two tanks (10, 75). This is even making me rethink my approach to substrates! Good stuff
Same here buddy😂😂
Pinching to allow the gravel to settle was a great PRO tip.
Can ubdo this with sand
@@Tonyinterviewz yes, you can see it done with sand later in the video
Kinda common sense really
I've been keeping fish & turtles for close to 40 years on and off, and never realized that I was vacuuming wrong until just now! What a GREATLY INFORMATIVE VIDEO!!! You are a genius Sir! Subscribed in the hopes that you give me some more gems like this in the future!
Just like everyone else, can’t believe I was doing wrong all these years!! Thank you so much
Finally someone explaining in detail how to use this thing, I’ve spent more than 1 hour looking for someone explaining how to use this, I did a mess in my aquarium trying different useless tutorials, but now I know how to use it, thank you so much you’re the best
Really
15 years, 15 bloody years vacuuming my aquarium and NOW you show me how to do it properly?!! Really the most educational aquarium video I've seen in ages, thank you Cory! 👍👍
Yes
I just realized I need wheels on my buckets. Lol
Hahahaha 35 years here and feeling the absolute same doh!!!!
Something so basic.
Tell me about it..! this is genius.!!
“And nobody likes poopy water on the floor”... Truer words have never been spoken! 🤣😂😄
Almost 2 years into the hobby and I just now learned the proper way to vacuum my gravel. I tried this today with my water change and it worked so well! Thanks!!
So simple & so helpful 🙂 Pinching the hose and allowing the gravel to settle is such a great tip! I have tiny nano tanks (1.5g & 3.5g). It can be very tricky to gravel vac thoroughly without pulling off too much water, especially when working on such small tanks. I'm sure this advice is going to help me tremendously. Awesome THANKS!
Cory, I’m an educator and this was a really great video. Great pacing and clear demonstration of process. I also appreciate showing multiple scenarios and how it can be different. The balance of reaching the hardcore audience and the newbies is very hard, I teach Freshman through Seniors in a single class, I get it. This content is invaluable as you continue to try to make the hobby better, more friendly, and educated. Well done!
What a meaningful and lovely comment. I agree, he is very good at this and provides a great value to the hobby and the hobbyists!
Cory is that rare combination of a fanatical hobbyist, a fantastic teacher, and a savvy businessman, which is what has led to his well deserved success. Add "excellent work ethic" to that list too, he works extremely hard as well!
Right!? Oration takes skill and this guy has that in spades. Can’t wait to catch some of his more in depth talks about advanced subjects.
I agree, thankyou for putting into words the effect of this great 👨🏫 educator
I love vacuuming my tank. There's something so satisfying about seeing the water go from brown to clear
Hello. I wanted to ask a question 🙋♂️ and I really really need help. I have a 75 gallon tank and to be honest I don’t know what else to do with this tank. I personally think it’s curse or something. This the problem I have been having with this tank, ammonia spike like big time. All of my fish died like literally all of them. I than thought ok well I’ll do an 80 percent water change and than try again. Same result a second time. I put one fish dead 💀 as well. I than said ok maybe the gravel is holding the ammonia and I literally threw out the gravel and put a new one in and put in two new sponge filters and a 350 marine filter as well. The same result again happen. I have literally put everything in the tank water conditioner, stress coat, fluvial that battle s ammonia and brings it down. Just yeasterday I did a 100 percent change
I literally rinsed the whole tank wipe it down and basically started it like a new tank. I have two heaters in there and the water temperature is at 78 . I don’t know what else to do . I really need help it’s the only tank I have problems with. I have a 125 and it’s fine and I have a 40 gallon Also fine and a 20 long also fine but this 75 one is no go.
@@anthonym6202 I would assume that the nitrogen cycle hasn’t settled properly. My understanding is that you shouldn’t try to change more than 40%, in extreme cases no higher than 60% at once. Also changing the gravel completely and cleaning your tank entirely clean with new sponge means you’ll have got start the cycle process, which takes weeks at least. Sound like not enough bacteria for the tank.
I would recommend buying nitrifying bacteria bottles and check you water parameters of your WATER SOURCE. Whether using tap water with conditioner, or RO water, they still might contain ammonia level too high. And lastly to make sure you buy a good conditioner for your water, one that neutralizes ammonia and everything bad (cuz not all bottles eliminate ammonia).
I hope it helps. Good luck. 👍
@@anthonym6202 you’re not letting the microorganisms that eat ammonia and nitrite grow. You’re making huge changes to the tank. I would never do an 80% water change, nor would I just throw out old gravel, nor would I completely switch around the filtration. Set the tank up, do weekly 20% water changes. Stop dumping chemicals into the water if you don’t know what they do.
@@jencycarranza4957 you’re making horrible recommendations to someone who doesn’t have the skill level to keep one tank alive.
That bottled bacteria? It’s just food for the bacteria, largely those bacteria are dead and aren’t useful to anyone. It’s just snake oil. RO water? Do you even know what his water parameters are? If he has soft acidic water what good will that do? There’s too many ifs ands or butts. Keep it simple, you don’t have to be a chemist to enjoy fish.
@@anthonym6202 Pinch some media from your established tanks, and use that in your 'new' tank. Almost an instant cycle. I say almost, because you still have to grow the bacterial colonies to handle the bioload of the tank. Don't add any more fish yet. Make sure you have a good water testing kit - the liquid ones are the most accurate, dip strips are pretty useless, especially when establishing a cycle for the first time and accuracy is important. Don't touch or clean the filters for eight weeks - give the bacterial colonies time to grow and establish.
If you already have fish in the tank, test daily. If ammonia or nitrites go above zero, water change until they're at zero. If nitrates go above 20ppm, do a smaller water change. Water changes aren't the problem here (so long as you use water conditioner and temperature match the new water to the tank temp), the beneficial bacteria don't live in the water, they live in the filter and on hard surfaces. The substrate, decor, plants, tank glass etc.
You added too many fish, too soon, by the sounds of it. Or before your tank was cycled. Then ammonia spike, and you're playing catch up. Resist the temptation to add new fish. Once it's cycled - meaning ammonia and nitrites are always at zero, and you are getting nitrate readings, then you can begin adding fish - but do it slowly. Add a few fish, feed lightly, since more food in means more ammonia waste coming out - give the tank bacterial colonies time to adjust to this increased bioload, before making sure ammonia and nitrite stay at zero again, then adding a few more. Spaced weeks apart.
Read up more on the nitrogen cycle, Big Al's has a fanastic video here called The Nitrogen Cycle - watch that one. Plus a video Cory did on this channel about optimising filters, one about the nitrogen cycle, and ones about water changes. Don't panic, the tank is not cursed, you just rushed things too quickly and that led to disaster. Learn from this, you're not the first nor the last to make these mistakes!
Someone give this man a prize. Amazing video, simple, objective, informative. Really liked it thumbs up.
I can't believe I've been water changing for 8 years and never thought to crimp the tube to help... Thank you SO MUCH! You are the best!!!!
Everybody else is just showing off how they know how to use a gravel vacuum. You actually taught me how from scratch, and every tip in these 10 minutes was valuable.
I can't get this right no matter what I do
@@maverickworld8192 took me some time to get a feel for it but finally did
Legit aye. Tiny ass video and I’ve learnt everything and it’s like the 3rd video I’ve watched. This man is the greatest
Not me shaking the gravel out instead of PINCHING THE TUBING I feel like such an idiot 🤣
Jody Jansa ... ha ha ha ha ha. Me too.
… 😶
Aww, don't beat yourself up Jody. An idiot is someone who sees a better way yet refuses to learn how to do it. I don't have a tank anymore but when I did it was all about shake Shake SHAKE🤦 If I tank again it will be all about *PINCH* 👌
just like you 😀
I watched this a few weeks before I tried it while I was waiting for tank to cycle. Just watched this again and realized I was doing it wrong from what I thought I remembered from the video. This video is truly informative. The squeezing the hose will help my bucket not fill up so fast. Thanks Cory!
Same
So glad I found your channel. Just stood up my very first planted tank not too long ago and have the exact same vacuum coming this weekend. My little 5-gallon project needs a good cleaning already and I'm so glad I know how to do it right!
Pinch is a pro tip, thanks
Did not expect to see you here at all, you should make a video on your tank :)
Never did I think that watching a video on gravel vacuuming a fish was this engaging.
I've been in the hobby for 2 years now and nobody showed me how to properly vacuum a fully planted tank. This is so helpful!
The most frustrating thing about cleaning my planed tank just got 100% easier. Thank you soooo much!
At 59 years of age I finally learnt how to do this the proper way. Thanks Cory.
42. Same. I now realize I've been dumping poop water back into the column and making my filter dirty faster. Haven't done much sand either, so that was nice to learn.
I’m 58 and it’s a first for me
@@amandacooper7975, so I guess they can teach ole dogs new tricks. 🙌🏼
Nice
Ive been getting fish water in my mouth this whole time 😂🤣😂🤣 thank you for showing me the way 🙏
hannah09958 - and doesn't it taste awfull? Now we two have learned a good lesson from Cory.
yes
Brilliant
Hannah09958... same 🤣🤣🤣
me too hahahahaha
Omg. I'm really new to the hobby and have watched SO many videos about aquariums, aquascaping, etc. But THIS video, by far, has been the MOST useful! I can't even thank you enough! I can't wait to get home and try it out!! THANK YOU!!
Such an awesome video!!! As a first time brand new tank owner you just saved me what I'm sure would have been Years of learning curve. My fish are going to live happier and healthier because of this video. THANK YOU!!!
I knew how to properly start it, but it turns out I wasn't actually vacuuming most efficiently. Thanks Cory!
I've been in the hobby about ten years and I never realised I was gravel vaccing improperly. Seriously, thanks for this video! I am a dedicated betta keeper so they're a bit hardier than a lot of other fish, but I still want to do right by my guys!
Thanks so much for a great beginner's guide to cleaning my tank! I have all of those tools but had no idea how to use them (I inherited them from my father who recently passed away). I'm totally going to dive into this hobby and wish now I had paid more attention to my dad when he was doing of of this. Now I can learn from you!! Thanks so much!!!
Wow. After watching countless videos on how to clean gravel, I stumbled into this video. THE BEST EVER. Thank you for explaining everything so so well!!!!!!! This like literally asnwered all questions I had!
I’m new to aquarium keeping, this guy and a channel called fish for thought have helped me more ways than literally anybody else including stores. These two are amazing
Saaaame
Love fish for thought! You should also check out girl talks fish! Shes run into A LOT of the same problems i have with my first tank and has taught me a TON of tricks for dealing with it.
I love that you call aquarium keeping. It shows such a level of knowledge for the community. Perhaps it’s more aquarium than fish eh?
You explain things in a way that every one can understand and I appreciate that SO MUCH!!
I’ve been on RUclips over 12 years now give or take. I’ve left maybe 20 comments in that time. Just not a chatty person on YT, but bro? You taught me a lot in a short time about stuff I thought I already knew about. I’m so glad I clicked this!! Excellent tutorials and delivery. I could learn a lot from the likes of you. Thank you!!
I've been doing this for a tank since 1952. How easy. learn something new every day. Thank you!
"You could be derping around cleaning your tank and all of a sudden you have water all over your floor" Pfff as if I have ever done that, ever... 😬😩
hahaha I just love that phrase "derping around"
Nice
There are VERY few RUclips channels I actually enjoy watching. This is one of them. You are an excellent teacher, Cory! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience. I definitely have wasted A LOT of water while gravel vacuuming. Oops!
Nice
This was so incredibly helpful!! First time fish owner and first time vacuuming, and I was beyond frustrated. Thank you!
Thank You for the step by step instructions. I was getting frustrated with trying to work this simple piece of plastic to clean the nasty tank. Very educational and I thank you for your time in teaching.
I've been cleaning my gravel wrong all these years. Just tried this and the amount of crap that came up was astounding.
We screamed at the TV watching the "pinch the tube to not suck up sand" trick. Absolutely amazing, thank you Cory for bestowing this knowledge upon us.
This is genius! I've been connecting mine to the water hose for years and had no idea it was this easy. Thanks for uploading this video!
Thank you so much for this! I honestly was getting ready to just pack it in and rehome my fish b/c I felt I wasn't doing the water changes/ gravel vacuums right. This video helps me tremendously!!
You are the best at explaining the oh so necessary basics. Minor caveat- When a tree seed sprouts the initial root that goes straight down is the tap root. Plants from cuttings have a fibrous root system. The hairlike roots absorbing nutrients are feeder roots. Makes sense, no?
Thanks for this clarification!! I was a little distracted by that 😆. I was thinking to myself, I don’t think that is quite right.... but the explanation worked either way.
I was thinking the very same thing. I'm a master gardener, so picked up on it immediately
Nice
I'm a bit mad at how simple that pinching technique is. I can't believe I didn't think of it.
Man Cory you saved the day again! I’ve been teaching these techniques to all of our staff here at multiple Petco’s!! It’s improved the quality by so much thank you!!
This was extremely helpful. I'm setting up 2 aquariums right now after getting out of the hobby for a couple years after moving. I'm going to do a gravel planted tank and a sand tank. This video will help me a lot with both.
I love seeing Cory’s friendly face and learning from this channel it just makes my day
Thank you so much for doing these basic “how to” videos! I always find I’ve forgotten an easy tip one way or another (like just vacuuming the sponge filter if I’m in a rush). Always useful and informative!
How to fill a tank is next mine overflows everytime
@@aniketpatil1452 it's simple watch it don't let it overflow LOL 😆
Best video on how to clean debris off of the bottom of your tank ever! We have a bunch of debris from our originally planted tank, even though we've done a few water changes. I love the hose pinching technique, we will use it on our sand. Thank you very much. You rock! Corey!!
THANK YOU!!! All the videos I watch show you these tools based on they've been doing it all the time; forgetting basic steps, 'us' knobs, or beginners don't know.
I've been frustrated with the entire cleaning process.
2 days later, after trying to do this, my water is still slightly cloudy from stirring up all the substrate.
Thank you again for explaining your technique for beginners.
I’ve been vacuuming my tank all wrong for years. Thank you for this video. I’m actually excited for my next water change/tank cleaning 🤘🏼
Thank for this. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve demonstrated this over my very long career in the hobby. Pinching the hose is a MUST and so glad you showed this. Thanks Cory.
been into freshwater gravel tanks 30 plus years never knew sand was actually cleaner substrait than gravel or the pinching tecnique
This was the best video I’ve ever watched showing how to actually do this I’ve been struggling for months trying to learn this and I can do it with ease of pausing the video for 2 min and trying it out and just that simple it works I’m new to the channel and I can’t wait to start learning way more 😁🙏🏼
I was today years old when I learned how to properly gravel vacuum a fish tank….. and I have had tanks for years! Thank you!!
Thank you so much! I'm 15 and have a 30 gallon tank in my room, and didn't quite have the ropes on vacuuming the substrate. You guys have helped me to learn a lot. Thanks!
Thank you! Have liked siphon tubes since whenever they came out but your teaching how to start flow and how to clean, especially in different substrates, or in planted tanks, was so clear and to the point that I will never forget this video. Bravo!
I went into this video thinking I wasn’t going to learn much. But mind blown 🤯 that was the most informative video I’ve seen and straight to the point.
I've been struggling to figure out to how gravel vac my 5.5 gal tank without just draining it and stirring up the waste and this was so helpful. The gravel vac I bought had instructions that said to just pump the vac up and down until the siphon started, which obviously immediately makes a mess of the tank. this makes way more sense!
Wow. Planned on just learning my tank, had no idea I’d be able to enjoy the video as much as I did. Great instructions and fun to watch! Great job.
This is like the third time Aquarium Co-Op has dropped a video on gravel vacuuming, but I’ll watch again every time just to refresh and maybe learn something new.
I've learned so much in more in this video than all the other cleaning tutorials I watched. Thanks so much! I'm in high school and I will use this to clean my betta's tank tomorrow.
I was pleasantly surprised watching this video as I've used this type of siphon for years and thought I probably wouldn't learn anything new. I've just cleaned my tank but will try out the new techniques next time, thanks!
Easy planter, buy it now 🤣
Smooth shameless self-promo 🤣
I find it endearing from him because I know how much effort they put into coming up with these great products! I’m going to put one in my cart now, so effective too 😆
I've got like $50 worth of stuff in my cart from these videos. Only Cory can make this advertisement effective!
Thank you so much for this! I just cleaned my betta tank before I saw this and now I feel like I should clean it again with this new knowledge! 🙏🏽
Thank you so much for this video, I have been fighting my tank and running out of water and honestly have never heard the pinching the hose tip. You have given me a game changer.
This is the most mind blowing video I’ve ever watched. These tricks seem so simple but I’ve never thought it known to do them! And to think I almost bought a siphon pump today too…. So glad they were out. Didn’t know you could “start” it without using your mouth or a pump!
I'm so happy I found this video! I just got my first aquarium and became frustrated trying to clean my gravel, because yes... I drained half my water and barely cleaned my gravel! Also, the way I was told to get the siphon started was ridiculous. I'm looking forward to trying it this way, this weekend! Thank you!!!
How did it work for you? I don't have a tank right now so am eager to know how it went for your first time. 🐠😃
I've totally flooded my floor more times than I can count..love the "suctioner" though. Pinching the tubing..what a concept. Thanks
Thank you for this video!!!! I bought one of those and was on the verge of taking it back bc I couldn’t get it to work. Well, just watched your video and it worked like a charm! My gravel is so clean 😊
I connect the siphon to a garden hose, and run it outside, or to the bathtub. When I'm done siphoning, I connect the other end to an adapter on the faucet, adjust the temperature, and refill the tank. No buckets, no spills. (Some siphons have a one-way valve that needs to be drilled-out before you can use it as a filler.)
Been doing planted tanks for over 15 years now. Thought I had a good way of cleaning out tank…not! Thank you for showing the little tricks of the trade. Some stuff I knew about, but others, never knew about it. Love the pinch method on that larger python hose. I went to a smaller size hose to avoid filling bucket up faster, never thought about pinching the hose 🤦♂️. Thanks again 👍😎
You could also get a little MacGyver ingenuity and put a open/shut off valve Incorporated into the hose😊
This couldn't have come at a better time! Just introduced my female koi betta into her tank today
Im so freaking glad i found this BEFORE even starting upp my first tank ever 😅 Thank you for brilliant educational content, keep it up 🐡🐠🐟
Wow. I've been gravel cleaning wrong for close to a decade. You made it seem so easy to do I subscribed just because of this video. Thank you so much
I like the practical tutorials that you produce for beginners, accessible and light-hearted.
Subscribed.
This video was very helpful for me as I was struggling to figure it out the first time (despite having used a siphon filter many times while camping).
i’ve learned more in the video on the internet then i ever did from a pet store worker!! thank you man!!
Finally I did it..... After so many tries following other videos I was not able to siphon... Lost the hope, use to take out whole gravel n clean the whole tank... Huge n tiring job..
But after watching ur video I did it... Thank u soo much for the information n details. ❤
Such a great explanation, thanks! This style works really well, sometimes it’s hard to follow instruction videos with just words or people who are really familiar with what they’re explaining, because they miss smaller details newbies don’t know
Cory is a game changer for us newbies to learn from. Thank you so much!
I watch this every time I clean my tank so helpful . Sometimes i forget it works and this is great !
Fantastic tips! I had mastered starting the flow but struggled with properly cleaning before running out of water. That pinch technique is enlightening. Thanks!!!
This was a great video! I have been keeping fish on and off for 30+ years and I learned some new things. Thank you!!
Really wish I had watched this before syphoning and swallowing some gravel 😂 Thank you, I'll remember this for next time!
I can't even express how grateful I am for all you taught me here!
Thank you!!!!! I got a mini vac and the only instructions were to move the vacuum up and down to create suction. I only got it to work one time that way in the 6 months I’ve had it. Your methods work every single time.
Thank you so much for this video!!! I can't wait to try your methods when vacuuming my tank next! I've been trying to "pump" the vacuum and that's a pain. Your method looked so easy! 😄
I’m digging these updated how-to videos. I’ve watched the old ones, but still learn new things with the new ones.
I was moments away from trying to clean my gravel, when I realized I had no idea and this was my first time doing it 😅 long story short I came across this video and THANK YOU . First video I clicked on and I was able to go on my way worked perfectly! And learned so many more tips I'll use later ❤
Thank you for this! My first round of vacuming did not go so well but after watching your video I'm doing it like a pro!
This was excellent! Will definitely start doing this - I'm actually exited to clean the gravel now 🤣
Hands down the best video I've seen on aquarium keeping that I've seen in the last 3 years. And I've watched like a million videos. Love Cory overall but this was the best one!!
By far the best instructional video I’ve ever seen. Ordered that exact siphon after watching. Thank you so much!
I knew 75% of what you recommended but that 25% was a game changer. I always do about 40% water change without being able to clean 50% of the aquarium. Thank you so much.
i was about to go out and buy a new one because I was using it wrong and thought it was broken. seriously thank you
I've learned so much from you it's really unbelievable. I swear I feel like I owe you money. G.O.A.T.
Thank you soooo much for that video! All these years I have had fish tanks I never ever had thought about vacuuming my tanks this way! Great Video!
I just bought one of those substrate cleaners. I just sat down to read up on how to work it. I need to buy a large trash container. I was ready to use one of my 5 or so gallon mop/garden buckets. Glad that I found this video first. Well, Monday is only two days away. Meanwhile, I am warming up the dechlorinated treated water. I am using the old small 1.7 gallon tank heater to warm up each gallon of water waiting to be switched as I do my partial water change.
I have an acquired brain injury that is still healing and I really really appreciate how to talk a bit slower as you show how you are doing this.
Thank you. GOD Bless you.

Thank you for these fish videos Cory!
Wheels on the bucket so important... I normally use a rolly bin... no one wants to carry/drag a container full of water.
@@ghos282 Dont you like M n M s ? :D
Super helpful video! 👌
Bro. Eat your chicken and broccoli and juice. Stop the 🍕. I'm watching out for you.
I work at a pet store mainly in the aquatics department so I do lots of water changes daily. You have no idea how much this just helped me
Thank you so much for this instructional video! I have started a tank two months ago, and my plants and shrimps were dying. Even after fixing my pH issues (tested for everything but only pH was too high). So I looked up online how to save the plants. Bought Seachem Flourite black sand yesterday, rinsed it but I must not have been thorough enough as my water is yellowish and there is some yellow dust on the gravel I put over the sand. I was very scared to buy a tube vacuum as I had no idea to use it. You probably have saved my tank with these few minutes of your time. Thank you again!
As a first timer this is an awesome tutorial. I was given a gravel vac and had no idea on technique, thank you so much~!
