Hi,
I have an established tank with plastic plants. I'm tired of the plastic plants and I'm starting to do my research to move to a planted tank. Yes, it would have been simpler to have a planted tank right from the start because now I have to change the substrate (I want to go for eco-complete), lightning, think of CO2, etc. But that's ok, it will be a good project. By the way, the stickies at the top are really useful!
I have a silly question: how do you do a gravel vac when you have a planted tank?
Right now, when I vac, I pretty much uproot the fake plants I have and I remove the rock and piece of wood (I wouldn't be able to do that if I attached plants to it, right?) so I can clean underneath (yes, it pretty much means I move everything around once a week).
Thanks
Vero
