## Summary description

Tetra GC Gravel Cleaner GC 40 is a manual aquarium gravel cleaner and siphon designed for removing debris from substrate and facilitating partial water changes. The device lets hobbyists clean gravel and extract settled waste without lifting large volumes of water at once. Suitable for freshwater and planted aquariums, it simplifies routine maintenance and keeps tank conditions healthy.

## Long description

Tetra GC Gravel Cleaner GC 40 is a manual aquarium substrate vacuum and siphon designed for targeted removal of detritus and uneaten food from gravel beds while allowing controlled water changes. The device combines a rigid intake tube with a flexible hose and an integrated valve that helps start and stop flow manually. Intended for freshwater and planted aquariums, the cleaner enables routine maintenance without needing electric pumps or full tank draining.
Advantages
The gravel cleaner removes settled waste from substrate while minimizing water loss, preserving beneficial bacteria and stable water parameters. Its manual siphon design provides precise control over flow and suction so gravel can be cleaned without disturbing plants or displacing substrate excessively. The tool is compatible with a range of aquarium sizes and is lightweight and simple to operate, making regular maintenance practical for hobbyists.
Suitable for
 Partial water changes and gravel vacuuming in freshwater aquariums
 Cleaning planted tanks where gentle substrate suction is required
 Routine removal of fish waste, uneaten food and debris from substrate
 Maintenance tasks in small to medium home aquaria
Key specifications
 Manual siphon operation with hand-controlled flow
 Rigid intake tube for insertion into gravel
 Flexible outlet hose for discharge to sink or bucket
 Integrated valve or mechanism to start and stop water flow
 Suitable for freshwater and planted aquarium use
How to use
Submerge the rigid intake tube into the aquarium gravel to the desired depth and place the outlet hose into a drain or collection container at a lower level than the aquarium. Activate the siphon according to the product's manual—typically by manually priming the hose or using the built-in valve—to initiate steady flow. Move the intake slowly through the substrate to lift and remove debris while letting heavier gravel fall back. Control flow with the valve to avoid excessive water removal and stop the siphon when the required volume has been processed.
Usage recommendations
Perform partial water changes regularly rather than full drainage; clean only a portion of the substrate per session to preserve beneficial bacteria. Rinse the outlet hose after each use and store the device dry. Use gentle, consistent movements when vacuuming planted tanks to avoid uprooting plants or disturbing root structures.
