Key Features:

• Efficient Design: The JBL Proclean Aqua Ex features a specially designed siphon that allows for quick and thorough cleaning of the substrate, removing dirt, waste, and uneaten food without disturbing the gravel or plants.
• User-Friendly Operation: The gravel cleaner is simple to operate; just place the nozzle in the gravel, and the siphoning action will start automatically, making it easy for both beginners and experienced aquarists to use.

• Integrated Filter: The built-in filter prevents larger debris from clogging the siphon, ensuring smooth operation and reducing the need for frequent cleaning of the device itself.

Water Conditions:

• Temperature Range: The JBL Proclean Aqua Ex is suitable for use in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. Maintain a temperature range of 22-28°C (72-82°F) for optimal fish health.
• pH Level: Depending on the species in your aquarium, the pH level should be regularly monitored. The JBL gravel cleaner does not alter the water chemistry, allowing you to maintain your desired pH.
• Hardness: It is compatible with various water hardness levels. Regular use of the gravel cleaner will help prevent waste accumulation, which can lead to harmful spikes in ammonia and nitrite levels.

Tank Mates:

• Community Tanks: The JBL Proclean Aqua Ex is ideal for community tanks housing a variety of fish species. Regular cleaning helps maintain a balanced environment where fish can thrive.
• Sensitive Species: For aquarists keeping sensitive species, using a gravel cleaner helps remove organic waste that can lead to poor water quality, which is crucial for maintaining the health of delicate fish.
• Breeding Tanks: In breeding setups, maintaining cleanliness is vital. The gravel cleaner ensures the substrate remains free from debris, preventing contamination that could harm fry.

Feeding Habits and Care:

• Feeding Routine: Regular feeding practices should include providing a balanced diet suitable for the species in your tank. Avoid overfeeding, as uneaten food can quickly accumulate in the substrate, necessitating more frequent use of the gravel cleaner.
• Maintenance Frequency: For optimal results, it is recommended to clean the gravel every 1-2 weeks. This routine helps prevent the buildup of harmful substances and promotes a healthy environment for your fish.
• Water Changes: Combine the use of the JBL Proclean Aqua Ex with regular water changes. During each cleaning session, siphon out about 10-15% of the water while removing debris from the substrate. This process keeps your tank's water quality high and promotes a balanced ecosystem.

Additional Care Tips:

• Siphon Technique: When using the gravel cleaner, aim to clean the substrate without disturbing plants or decorations. Gently move the siphon through the gravel, focusing on areas with visible waste accumulation.
• Monitor Fish Behavior: After cleaning, observe your fish for any signs of stress or discomfort. A well-maintained tank should promote active and healthy behavior in your aquatic pets.
• Cleaning the Gravel Cleaner: After each use, rinse the gravel cleaner with fresh water to remove any debris. Store it in a dry place to prevent mold or algae growth.
