Stupid question time /sanitizing black water tank

Newbie here. Just bought a toy hauler and want to clean the black tank out. Only used it once so far and just dumped at the dump site. I don't have a clear hose or anything yet. there aren't any odors...

What I use

1/2 inch PVC pipe, capped the lower end, drilled a hole just under a quarter inch diamater to shoot a jet master blaster style but no "Nose" to break off.

Works fairly well.

Your homemade wand is pretty much the same as the Camco wand I bought for under $10, except the Camco has a shut off valve. It even came with a handy drop in tube that holds the flush valve open while flushing the tank. The single jet is very powerful.
