fish tank vacuum?

I have a small five gallon hex 5 fish tank..that is filtered and heated. I was going to buy a siphon to get the poop and junk out from the gravel..But I was wondering if my tank was big enough to be able to use a vacuum or not..Would it take too much of the water out? I just had a major issue with my bettas dying and i think it was because i hadn't cleaned the gravel since i set up my tank..I do about 20 percent water changes every two weeks..but should i also vacuum the gravel??

I have 3 Bettas. 1 is in my community tank, 2 others in 5 gallon tanks. I don't use filters in the tanks and I have had no problem with them, BUT, I do a complete water change every week......this involves putting the betta in a cup of water from the tank, then I wash out and clean the whole tank, including the gravel (with plain water of course). I have been doing this for over a year and have had no problems. Just be sure to use about the same temperature water when you put the water back in, PLUS a water conditioner as usual. I also put a pinch of aquarium salt into the tank to help promote healthy gill function and slime coating. (It also helps ward off disease such as ich, ich hates salt!!)
I hope this helps. Good luck!! ;o)

Volvo Expansion Tank Hose Keeps the Engine Coolant Flowing

Friction from a vehicle engine’s operation results to extremely high temperatures. To avoid the overheating of engines, automakers install cooling systems in automobiles. As larger and more powerful engines are getting manufactured, however, the cooling system technology needed to adapt to the demands of these new engines. In turn, car-manufacturing companies like Volvo created new cooling components. A clear example of such is the expansion tank.

An expansion tank is a container that provides extra storage space for the expansion of a coolant—a fluid used to dissipate heat. A Volvo Expansion Tank Hose ensures the optimum flow of coolant as it connects the vehicle’s radiator with an expansion tank. An expansion tank is sometimes called coolant reservoir or overflow canister.

When engines heat up, the coolant consequently expands. Without the expansion tank, however, the coolant will just flow out of the cooling system and get displaced to the ground. Volvo Expansion Tank Hoses are crucial in engine cooling systems. Without these components, coolant is not delivered to overflow canisters and cooling systems become very ineffective.

Aside from containing the coolant that has expanded with heat, the expansion tank also makes the cooling system more efficient by eliminating the air bubbles from the coolant. Coolant without air bubbles absorbs heat much faster. When the engine is sufficiently cooled, a vacuum in the cooling system sucks back the coolant through the Volvo Expansion Tank Hose. A properly functioning cooling system does not lose any coolant as the tank hose completes it as a virtually closed system. Even if the level of coolant in the expansion tank rises and falls, the radiator remains full all the time.
