Here's what may be a silly question but I'm going to ask it anyways . . . . when a tank is going through the cycling phase at what point do you vacuum the substrate or do you? How often do you vacuum your substrate once it's established? Right now I have 2 10g tanks with 1 Male Betta each & a mystery snail, one tank has been running around 4 months, the other only 2 weeks. I also have a 46g that houses 3 female Bettas, 2 CAE's & 2 mystery snails. I've vacuumed the older 10g really well that last 2 weeks because it did have 4 fish so it needed it & i usually vacuum a little each week. The other two I did a little vacuuming with the last PWC's & of course there wasn't much but then I got to thinking if that was good idea since they're cycling. Am I over thinking it?
