Aquarium Advice Addict
This has been a very interesting thread to say the least. LOL But informative as well.
For my tanks, I never clean the sandbed. I may on ocassion lightly swoop over the surface but thats about it. I mostly have DSB's in my tanks as well. I have found that with my circulation of water I dont often have much if anything to vacuum up.
If your vacuum thing into the sand arent you releasing all the nasty gunk that is built up in there? Like nitrates for instance? I also dont have any sand sifting stars so my sandbed is pretty much as it was when i added it.
Just wondering if I am doing the right thing. I also always advise people not to muck around in their sandbeds so I wanna be sure thats correct advice.
Thanks guys for the entertaining read thus far. Feels like I'm in college and have a massive technical reading assignment. LOL
