Take a little powerhead, and put a filtersock on the outlet. Fine filtersock, finer than 100 micron, and a small powerhead. Mini-jet comes to mind. To much flow will blow the detritus right through the sock.

As tlo said "a wet/dry shop vac works great as well." but get the smallest one they have as the 4.5 horse power will suck it dry in about 5 seconds. Thats the only shop vac I have and it's way to big. I use it to suck out the lines for my inground pool 10 gallon holding tank full in 5 seconds or less.
