Over time, dirt will accumulate in aquarium gravel and sand, poteintially leading to pollution of the environment. In order to keep fish healthy, it is important to keep the substrate reasonably free from dirt, and the easiest way to do this is with a GC Hydroclean gravel cleaner. Rather than having to take the gravel of the aquarium, the Hydroclean allows you to hoover up dirt, during the course of a normal water change, or as a separate procedure. Unlike other gravel cleaners, the Hydroclean can be started automatically, wihtout the need for manual siphoning. The TetraTec Hydroclean comes with a 1 year guarantee.
How it Works
The Hydroclean works by automatically creating a siphon, which removes water from the aquarium. The power of this siphon is enough to lift dirt out of the substrate, without removing the substrate itself.
How to Use
To start the siphon, simply hang the siphon pipe into a bucket, and plunge the Hydorclean up and down until a flow of water starts. Then, dig the Hydroclean into the gravel and lift it up again, to pull dirt from it. When replacing any water that has been removed from the aquarium, remember to use AquaSafe to make it safe.
