Whenever i do a pwc and gravel vac i have this small problem, and was just wondering if anyone else has the same thing, or has a solution.....
I start to syphon out water, whilst cleaning the sand, and sucking up the poop and debris, by the time i have removed as much water as i need to, i have usually got the sand pretty clean, and looking good.
So then i start to pour in the new water....by the time i have filled the tank, the distubance from adding the water has found more poop, and ruined the nice clean sand. Im sure this comes from the plant leaves and roots, which i cant easily access as i dont wat to damage any plants.
My tank is always clean, and the water is always fine, so this isnt going to cause major problems, its just a bit annoying, does anyone else have this kind of problem??
I have a lot of plants in my tank, and im sure this is why i can never seem to remove all the debris, god knows how people keep fully planted tanks clean!?
