With that triple layer, do you not clean the gravel with a siphon hose/tube?

I intended on changing 20% of the water with tap water that's been sitting for at least 2 days(oops, I mean 2 weeks) every couple weeks. And I planed on doing it with a siphon hose/tube that will also clean the gravel in the front portion of the tank.

I was thinking of building a plastic border to keep the rear/corners higher and separated from the lower gravel so I could clean as mentioned. It will be a sort of cliff drop from the sand to the gravel.
