Bro,

Just use a rubber tube to suck it out. Suck it to a pail first. Normally I will use my fingers to place near the tube & watch the tank when doing.

So that way will prevent many shrimplets being suck up.

depending on the size of your tank, you can use a medium cup to scoop the water out for the partial water change without using a hose.

I use an air hose to suck out the water into a smal white pail, but everytime I need to check for any shrimplets being suck out or not.

this is what i've been doing..

I usually use a Tao Huay Tub to slowly scoop up the water from my 2FT tank...

i use my mini vacum.

at the inlet i put a cottom pad( the one we use for our face) tied with rubber band.

then just leave it there to suck until the bottle is full. while im waiting, i watch tv.

i never worry my shrimplets get sucked up.

to change about 20% of my tank water, i take about... 30 mins but with a peace of mind.
