Aquarium Advice Regular
exactly how necessary is cleaing out gravel? The way my current tank is set up, it is impossible to access any of the gravel with a suction thingie without pulling up all the plants and decorations. So doing regualr gravel vacuumes would be an all day affair. As long as I'm running a ton of filtration and don't over feed the fish, is it necessary to clean the substrate all that often? I can't imagine people with planted tanks or with other substrates besides gravel clean it at all.
