Hope i'm not infringing anything... Personally, I use this:

If the sight is bearable, I usually don't do anything to the gravel, but when really dirty, the gravel washer can be used. Pretty hassle-free, like doing a partial water change...

practically i seldom touch gravel.

but sucking using normal air pump tubes though not thorough enough but somehow it gets the job done.

3inch?? mine at most only 2 inches.

If you use soil as gravel, you need not touch the gravel at all.
