## Long description

Tetra GC Gravel Cleaner GC 30 is a manual gravel siphon designed for routine substrate cleaning and partial water changes in small to medium aquariums. The device uses hand-operated suction to remove debris and detritus from the gravel bed while allowing most water to be returned or removed in a controlled way. Its compact design and simple operation make it suitable for regular maintenance of planted tanks, community aquaria and setups where gentle cleaning is required.
Advantages
The gravel cleaner enables targeted removal of waste from the substrate without removing fish or disturbing plants extensively. Manual operation gives you control over suction power and water flow, reducing the risk of accidentally siphoning gravel or small inhabitants. The tool is compact, easy to handle and requires no electricity, making it convenient for use in small spaces and during routine partial water changes. Materials are resistant to aquarium conditions and allow straightforward rinsing after use.
Suitable for
Small to medium freshwater aquariums
Planted tanks needing gentle substrate cleaning
Community aquaria with small fish and invertebrates
Regular partial water changes and maintenance
Key specifications

Designed for gravel and substrate cleaning
Compact, handheld design for small aquariums
Suitable for partial water changes while cleaning
Easy to rinse and store after use
How to use
Place the gravel cleaner tube into the aquarium so the suction head sits on the substrate. Start manual suction according to the device principle to initiate water flow and lift detritus from the gravel. Move the tube gently across the substrate surface and allow heavier gravel to settle while debris is carried away. Adjust your hand pumping or squeezing rhythm to control the volume of water removed and avoid excessive disturbance to plants and animals. After cleaning, stop the siphon and return any water that should remain or replace it as part of a planned partial water change.
Usage recommendations
Use the device during regular maintenance intervals rather than full substrate overhauls; perform partial water changes of up to around 25–30% per session to maintain stable water parameters. Rinse the cleaner in dechlorinated or aquarium water after each use and store it in a dry, clean place away from direct sunlight. Inspect the suction head for blockages and clean gently to preserve proper function.
