Thanks!
Yes a wet dry vac will allow you to suck out most of the aspen. What I do to help to clean it out is put wrapping paper down across my tank and put the aspen over it. when it comes time to clean, i suck up what i can then pick up the wrapping paper. When it comes time to wash it, scrub everything down like you normally would and rinse it a bit and take the filter off the wet vac and suck away. you may have to stop and empty it though depending on how much water is in it.

i like those conversion kits, i have never seen that before
