You need a small gravel siphon. You can get them at any pet store. Use it to clean the gravel as you remove about 25% of the water from the tank each week. Replace the water with fresh dechlorinated tap water of about the same temperature as the tank. That will go a long way to keeping your tank clean and your fish healthy.

If you want to hand cleen the tank al you do is buy an algee scrubber and scrubb the sides and then shake up the rocks a little and then the filter will do the rest of the work.Or if you want to but something to cleen it you have to but an algee eater and graval vacume and you can buy dirt be gone that will make things a lot easier

You can buy a small gravel vacuum. Then vacuum out about 25% of water. Refill with declorinated water

Get a gravel vacuum and use it to remove about 20% of the water once a week.

Well.... to clean it PROPERLY, you HAVE to take the fish out. You can get a filter though.
