Since aquarium filters cannot completely remove these substances from the water and much of the waste enters the bottom of the aquarium, regular partial water changes (about every 2 weeks 1/3 of the water content) should be carried out. Always suck the waste out of the substrate when performing a partial water change. After a partial water change, a good water conditioner such as JBL Biotopol is vital to prepare the new tap water for the fish. Easy to use: Hold the gravel cleaner underwater in the aquarium, shake it up and down and hold the end of the hose inside the bucket. The water will then flow into the bucket. Clean the bottom with the gravel siphon cleaner. To finish, simply remove the grit cleaner from the water or/and close the stopcock at the end of the hose. How to properly clean the bottom of the aquarium: Press the gravel cleaner into the aquarium substrate in a rotating motion. The suction pulls the base and dirt in the grit cleaner upwards. The substrate falls back under its own weight and only the dirt is sucked out of the aquarium. With fine sand, you can adjust the suction by lifting the grit cleaner so that the light sand also falls back down. A sieve in the bell of the cleaning unit prevents accidental suction of fish and shrimps. The sieve can be removed for cleaning. If you have a long-lasting substrate fertilizer under the gravel cover (e.g. JBL PROFLORA AQUA BASIS), do not place the gravel cleaner far away. Place it only as deep as the covering substrate layer.
