Blue Planet TankMaid Gravel Cleaner Small

The Blue Planet TankMaid Gravel Cleaner – Small is a practical aquarium maintenance tool designed to make routine water changes and substrate cleaning quick and easy. Its compact size makes it particularly suitable for smaller aquariums where a larger gravel vacuum may be difficult to manoeuvre.

The gravel-cleaning tube allows debris, uneaten food, fish waste, and other organic material to be removed from between the gravel while aquarium water is siphoned out. Regular substrate cleaning helps prevent excessive waste build-up and supports cleaner, healthier aquarium conditions.

Directions for Use

Place the gravel-cleaning end into the aquarium and position the outlet hose into a suitable bucket located below the aquarium.

Start the siphon and gently push the cleaner into the gravel. The water flow will lift lighter waste and debris while allowing the heavier gravel to fall back into place.

Work progressively across the substrate while monitoring the amount of water removed. For routine maintenance, clean sections of the gravel during regular partial water changes rather than excessively disturbing the entire aquarium substrate at once.

Aquarium Maintenance

Regular gravel cleaning can help remove:

• Fish waste
• Uneaten fish food
• Decaying plant material
• Organic debris
• Detritus trapped between gravel

How often the substrate requires cleaning will depend on aquarium size, stocking levels, feeding habits, filtration, and the type of substrate being used.

Take extra care around live plants, small fish, shrimp, snails, and delicate aquarium decorations while siphoning.

Care & Storage

After use, rinse the gravel cleaner and hose thoroughly with clean water and allow them to drain before storage.

Do not clean aquarium equipment with soap, detergent, disinfectants, or household cleaning chemicals, as residues may be harmful to aquarium livestock.
