1. fuel siphon, few bucks ($4)
2. hose: 5/8 od, 1/2 id (about 25 cents a foot, 15' = 3.75)

total<8 bucks

-hose fits onto end of siphon discharge hose
-i have sand so i don't want to dig in gravel, if you do, i imagine you could modify the small siphon tube, people use water bottles i saw on youtube
-i like the smaller siphon tube to navigate around in tank, and plants
-no more drinking fish water

i wish i had this when i tried to siphon gas out of car, got several mouth fulls, never got the siphon going.

also, i'm too impatient to nurse the water down the hose to start again, with this, a couple squeezes and its going again.

oh you ask why stop...well a neon when in hose...and YES... OF COURSE it died.
