Aquarium Gravel and Glass Cleaner

Aquarium Gravel and Glass Cleaner

The Aquarium Gravel and Glass Cleaner is a multi-functional aquarium cleaning tool that lifts debris out of your gravel and removes algae from the glass. It suits freshwater and other aquarium keepers who want a simple way to keep the substrate and viewing panes clean, and to make routine water changes easier.

Unlike standard gravel cleaners, it has an "easy start" system for efficient water flow, so you don't need to fiddle to get the siphon going. A built-in glass-cleaning attachment means one tool covers two maintenance jobs.

Key Benefits

• Thorough substrate cleaning that removes unwanted debris from the gravel
• Efficient removal of algae from aquarium glass
• Helps make water changes more effective
• Fish-safe design
• Easy, convenient operation thanks to the "easy start" system
• A plastic bracket inside the hose keeps gravel where it belongs while only debris is drawn up
• Algae is suctioned up as you clean the glass, for a cleaner, clearer view of your tank

How to Use

• Place the column in the aquarium.
• Move it up and down a few times to start the suction.
• Work it through the gravel to draw up debris. The plastic bracket inside the hose stops the gravel from being sucked away.
• To clean the glass, use the hard plastic glass-cleaning attachment on the tank walls. The algae is suctioned up straight away as you clean.

Suitable For

• Gravel-bottomed aquariums that need regular substrate cleaning
• Tank walls that develop algae and need a clear view restored
• Hobbyists who want to combine gravel cleaning, glass cleaning and water changes in one routine

What's Included

• Gravel cleaner with "easy start" column and hose with internal plastic bracket
• Hard plastic attachment for cleaning aquarium glass
