You do need to find the correct type of pump, but after that it's pretty easy (yes, I have done it.) In my experience it can produce 5 to 8 in. Hg of suction which is more than enough to produce results.

I personally modified a Rena Air 300
chrishoney,
I went ahead and ordered a Noogleberry. I received the Noogleberry yesterday. See my post: Received my Noogleberry
I would think it would be to easy to over pump using the aquarium pump modification. For now the Noogleberry hand pump system is working as desired.
