well i was going to gravel vacit it and add more water in

a gravel vac is good. When you take out the dirty water from the 10gal use that water to clean the sponges in the filter and nothing else

Just remember not to use the tap water for cleaning the filter. That is very important

You can vacuum the gravel...but don't clean anything except the glass..

Water change and vacuum!

Yes, it's ok to vacuum the gravel any time you change the water. Just make sure you don't scrub things down or do more than that right now
