Zimbabwe

I have a well planted 12g tank. If I want to clean out the gravel, would using a gravel vacuum damage the plants' roots? Also, if the vacuum does cause damage, is there any other way to clean out the gravel that will not harm my plants?

Thank you for any help in advance.

You can just try your best to avoid vacuuming near roots as they would become plant food...mostly! That is what I do!
