You need a gravel siphon. It's available at any pet store and only costs a few dollars. Use it to clean the bottom as you remove about 25% of the water fromt he tank. Then refill the tank with clean, dechlorinated tap water. Do this once a week and the tank will stay clean and healthy with no risk to your fish at all.

In order clean your tank you don't need to remove the fish from the tank at all. Simply get a gravel vaccum from Wal Mart, it you don't already have one. Put the gravel vaccum in the tank and get it to sucking the water out of the tank. At the same time put the wide end in to the gravel and let the water clean the gravel for you. You will need to move the gravel vaccum around a bite. Only take out about 25 percent of the water. Do this weekly and tank should remain nice and clean.

100% with magic, get a busket from walmart or soemthing and put the water in that, mix in the dechlorinator and make sure the water is the same temperature, buy another termometer for the bucket. also make sure to test your water, most pet shops will carry a test kit for freshwater

Put some of the water out of your tank into sandwich bags or freezer bags, and put the fish in them. Clean and re fill your tank, then hold the bags in the water until the water in the tank, and the water in the bags is the same temperature before dumping them back in.

Get a gravel siphon and clean your gravel and take about 25% of the water out with that procedure

Also always check your amonia level, to high ones can get your tank cloudy as well
Hope that helps
