Aquarium Advice Activist
It's been about 12 yrs since I last had an aquarium. Back then I used aquarium gravel and an undergravel filter as part of my set up along with regular vacuming of the gravel as part of the cleaning.
Now a days it seems like a LOT of people are using sand in their aquariums and not many people use undergravel filters.
So my question is how do you clean the sand, nothing would be left if I vacumed it?
Also, how often do you clean the sand since it holds less debris?
I've seen remarks about sand getting into the working parts of filters, etc
and ruining them. So how does that problem get solved, buy larger grain size of sand or what?
All answers are VERY much appreciated!!!
