One of my co-workers has a 29 gal FW tank. He has managed to overfeed, I am guessing because his nitrate levels are consistently high and when he goes to gravel vac - there is a flood of debris up from the gravel into the water.
What is the best way for him to clean all this out and get it back to normal? I told him to cut down on the amount he was feeding the fish first, and maybe do water changes every day or every other day until the nitrate levels go down. But I was thinking, the nitrate levels might not ever go down if he doesn't get all that stuff up from the gravel.
What is your advice for this situation that would be the healthiest for the tank and the fish?
Thanks!
