I've also been doing mine, a 5' high 20k gal tank, myself for 8 years now.
A 20' extension pole, a swimming pool vacuum head, a 1-1/2" siphon hose, and a 6'step ladder.
Size your items to suite your tank.
I would vacuum it for less than an hour each year.
Then, I put in screens to stop leaves and such from being washed into the tank.
Haven't had to vacuum it for 3 years now and it stays pretty clean.
Doesn't really need it yet, may do it next year.
It isn't all that hard to do.
Just pick a nice calm sunny day.
I'm in my late 70's and still do it myself.

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
