Question...

[Kinili]

I was wondering when I should start vacuuming my gavel. I have had my tank for over a month. Cycled it with fish.. Unfortunately. Added 8 seprae tetras and my tank went into a mini cycle:S. Now levels are back to zero. I now have 9 zebra danios, which I cycled with, and 8 seprae tetras. I plan to add a bristlenose Pleco and 3 cockatoo cichlids. I'm just wondering if I should be vacuuming my gravel now or if I should wait longer.

That should be part of your weekly maintenance, your biofilter is mainly contained in your filtration.

Huh good to know. I guess I will go pick one up today.

Unless the tank is planted

Unless the tank is planted

I do have a few live plants in there.

If it's not heavily planted then you should vacuum it
