To start Siphoning fill the tube completely with water and make sure there is no air trapped in the tube.
Ensure you have clean equipment ans hands before start putting your hands in the aquarium, dip the tube in the aquarium to completey fill the tube.
If your aquarium is too small to do this, try placing one end of the tube in the tank. Draw water on the other end by putting your mouth and sipping the water – but not drinking it!
It will take practice but it’s really easy when you get the hang of it.
Now the water should start flowing out.
Set up your bucket lower than the aquarium failure to do this the process would start. Now lower the end of the tube into the bucket for the process to start.
Take your thumb off of one end and the water should begin to flow rapidly from the aquarium into the bucket.
You can control the water flow by pinching or folding the hose.
Discard the water in the bucket.
