Gravel Cleaner Nano aquarium gravel vacuum ZOLUX SE-32800 — 26.5×2.7 cm, hose 12/16 mm, 2 m

Gravel Cleaner Nano ZOLUX SE-32800 is a compact aquarium gravel vacuum designed for routine substrate cleaning in small and nano tanks. The device features a rigid 26.5×2.7 cm tube paired with a 2 m siphon hose compatible with 12/16 mm fittings, enabling targeted removal of debris, uneaten food and detritus from gravel beds while maintaining stable water levels. Intended for freshwater use, the cleaner is suitable for regular maintenance of planted and ornamental nano aquaria where space is limited and gentle siphoning is required.

Advantages

The rigid tube construction provides accurate control when working between plants and decorations, reducing the risk of disturbing roots or small inhabitants. The included 2 m hose with 12/16 mm diameter ensures compatibility with common aquarium outlets and offers enough reach for most small tanks. The compact dimensions make storage and handling easy, and the design minimizes rapid water loss during cleaning, allowing selective substrate suction without extensive water change.

Suitable for

• Routine substrate cleaning in nano and small freshwater aquaria
• Maintenance of planted nano tanks where gentle cleaning near roots is needed
• Spot removal of uneaten food and detritus from gravel without large water extraction
• Use in ornamental aquaria with limited access or complex décor

Key specifications

• Rigid tube length and diameter: 26.5 × 2.7 cm
• Hose length: 2 m
• Hose internal/external diameter: compatible with 12/16 mm fittings
• Intended water type: freshwater
• Design: manual siphon gravel vacuum for small aquaria

How to use

Insert the rigid tube into the aquarium substrate at a shallow angle, positioning the tip near the area to be cleaned. Connect the 12/16 mm hose to the tube and start the siphon according to standard manual-siphon procedure (priming by submerging and initiating flow or using mouth/hand priming methods). Move the tube slowly across the gravel surface to lift and remove debris while avoiding uprooting plants. Control the outflow to maintain desired water level; the compact tube allows targeted suction so only a small volume of water is removed during each pass.

Usage recommendations

Use the cleaner regularly as part of routine maintenance, performing partial water changes when necessary to preserve water quality. Rinse the tube and hose with freshwater after use and store dry to prevent buildup. Avoid using the device in saltwater systems unless rinsed thoroughly and dedicated for that purpose, and do not force the rigid tube into tight crevices where it could damage décor or delicate plant structures.
