Has any one used a pool filter for sand and rock cleaning? Our display is upstairs with a basement sump and water changes are setup to be done in the basement without hauling buckets etc. Couple of valves to turn and done. I would like to be able to siphon my sand and rocks in the display during maintenance and thought about using a canister filter for this however the ones I have had in the past didnt have much suction. In my searching I came across pool filters that use a pleated cartridge like a shopvac style. Some of them have flow rates in the 2000+ GPH range so I would think they should have plenty of suction power to really pull out detritus. Has anyone used these for siphoning detritus during tank maintenance?
