Aquarium gravel cleaner 7.5cm

Absolute Aquarium Gravel Cleaner 7.5cm

The Absolute Aquarium Gravel Cleaner 7.5cm (SKU: AS002) is a compact, user-friendly aquarium siphon vacuum designed for efficient substrate cleaning and routine water changes in small to medium aquariums. Equipped with a 7.5cm vacuum cylinder head, it effectively agitates and extracts fish waste, uneaten food, and organic detritus trapped within sand or gravel beds without sucking up heavy substrate.

Constructed from durable, non-toxic, aquatic-safe materials, this lightweight cleaner features a built-in siphon mechanism to easily initiate water flow into a bucket. It is particularly well-suited for nano tanks, desktop aquariums, and tight spaces around dense aquascaping hardscape, keeping your substrate clean while maintaining crystal-clear water quality.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Routine Water Changes: Use during weekly or bi-weekly maintenance to remove dirty water while vacuuming substrate.

• Substrate Maintenance: Apply whenever fish waste, organic detritus, or food particles settle into gravel or sand.

• Nano & Small Tank Care: Ideal for small-to-medium aquariums where larger siphon tubes are too bulky to maneuver around plants and hardscape.

How to Use

1. Position a clean bucket below the level of the aquarium to allow gravity-fed water flow.

2. Submerge the 7.5cm vacuum head inside the tank water along with the intake end of the hose.

3. Initiate water flow using the built-in manual squeeze pump until water flows steadily into the bucket.

4. Press the vacuum head gently into the gravel or sand bed to lift organic waste, moving systematically across the tank.

5. Stop siphoning once the target water change volume (typically 10% to 20%) is reached.
