I am not able to vacuum the gravel. Just because aquarium is in the basement and I use python which doesn't have enough suction when connected to a hose in ground floor. This morning I saw planeria/nematodes on my aquarium glass. My water changes are consistent 50% bi weekly. My question is there an aquarium product available like some kind of liquid or something which I can add to water to get rid of access waste ?

See my problem is suction
There is no way for me to create enough. 50% water removal take almost 90 minutes. Its that's slow. And no suction means no sand cleaning
Costly both on time and money as in water charges because I use python.

Get an inexpensive water pump. Place it into a five gallon bucket. Attach a garden hose to the pump and running the other end outside. Get a simple gravel cleaner and siphon tank water into the bucket, and as the bucket fills up, the pump will pump the water outside.
