The siphon tube that drains out the water of my aquarium is only about half the height of the aquarium. The filter is an external canister filter. Is this effective or should I extend the tubing to reach near the bottom of the tank?

Well it depends, most canisters require you to keep them 24" below the top of the aquarium so that water flows perfectly. Increasing the tubing can help set more water if the tank and canister and real close this can make the canister suck slower.

i will grant you with my 2 cents -- it would desire to be that there is adequate air interior the return or intake traces and the suction of the impeller isn't waiting to triumph over the boyancy of the bubble -- the air maintains to be interior the precise of the crossover pipe coming up a vapor plug that wont suck out and resists pushing ---you're able to desire to get all the air out of the traces, then there'll be no resistance against the impeller ---i assume which you have achieved present day upkeep? this allowed air into the plumbing
