OK. So it must be a straight hose, not a gravel cleaner type.

Thanks

Correct, no gravel cleaning bell. All you use is 1" tubing. You could
connect it to a length of 1" rigid tubing to make it a little easier to
handle than a soft hose like material. If part of it is rigid, you won't
have to reach down into the tank up to your armpits to reach where you want.

Be careful to avoid your fish. 1/2 pound of water suction is a lot and you
could easily kill just about any fish if it were to get pulled up to the end
of the siphon.
