Aqueon Siphon Vacuum Gravel Cleaners help to make this job easier and take less time. Just a simple up and down motion with the intake tube will quickly prime the siphon to begin water flow. Debris is pulled away with flowing water and disposed of while gravel falls to the bottom of the aquarium. Be sure to add Aqueon Water Conditioner when adding clean water to aquarium.
