Simplify aquarium maintenance and keep your fish thriving with the Tetra Aquarium Cleaner Gravel Vacuum, an ingeniously designed 2-in-1 tool that simultaneously performs water changes and cleans gravel substrate—the two most important regular maintenance tasks for healthy aquariums. This essential tool addresses the primary challenge of aquarium keeping: efficiently removing waste, uneaten food, and debris that accumulates in gravel beds where it decomposes and pollutes water, stressing fish and encouraging harmful algae growth. The clever siphon design creates powerful suction that lifts debris from between gravel particles while leaving the gravel itself undisturbed—waste and dirty water are removed while beneficial substrate bacteria remain. The self-starting siphon mechanism is a game-changer for ease of use, eliminating the need for mouth-siphoning (unsanitary and risky) or complicated priming procedures. Simply move the intake tube up and down a few times in the aquarium and water flow begins automatically, making water changes accessible even for beginners or children helping with tank care. The 16-inch length provides comfortable reach into most standard aquariums without requiring you to fully submerge your arm. The flexible tubing directs dirty water into a bucket while you guide the intake tube across the gravel bed, systematically cleaning the entire substrate. The flow rate is optimized to efficiently remove water for changes while providing enough time to thoroughly clean gravel without rushing. The durable construction withstands regular use and exposure to water without degrading, cracking, or becoming brittle. The clear tubing allows you to see water flowing and monitor debris removal. Perfect for freshwater aquariums from 10 to 55 gallons.
