JBL ProClean Aqua Ex 10-35

JBL ProClean Aqua Ex 10-35 is a compact gravel cleaner for nano and small aquariums with a water height of 10 to 35 cm. It siphons waste out of the substrate during water changes: with the cleaner under water, one short suck on the hose gets the flow going into a bucket, and pushing the tube into the gravel draws the dirt out. Its square cross-section lets you reach right into the aquarium corners. A removable protective sieve stops plants, shrimp and fish from being pulled in by accident.

Picking the right length

JBL names its ProClean Aqua Ex cleaners after the aquarium height they suit, so measure your tank before ordering: this 10-35 model is meant for tanks 10 to 35cm tall, while taller aquariums need the 20-45 or 45-70 versions. With such a short tube, JBL suggests quick, repeated scooping movements into the gravel to lift the dirt. Make sure the bucket stands lower than the aquarium, as the siphon only flows downhill, and the 1.5m hose gives enough reach for most small set-ups.

Good to know

Rinse the sieve and tube in clean water after each use, then let them dry before storing so the hose stays fresh.
