Bare bottom pooooooo

[Niki86]

Seriously? Anyone else have a bare bottom tank? I literally just changed over half the water then proceeded to do my other tank.,,.when I was done the second tank there was just as much poo in the first tank.....how do you combat this???

small powerhead at the bottom would clear that up.

You can use your hand or net make a swirling motion in the tank to create a whirlpool effect and the poo should all congregate to the center of the whirlpool ( depending on how much decor you have in the tank.) Once the water settles, you can then siphon out the pile. It doesn't get it all but it gets a lot of it. All my tanks are bare bottoms and this is what I do.

Hope this helps

I've looked at power heads and am debating as my tank is very minimal....in going with less is more.!

There is really only two fake plants attached to the back wall for decor. (Reptile plants)

Might have to try the whirling motion....
