So I got my first tank 2 weeks ago and I found out today about the amazing gravel siphon. The thing is, maybe my gravel is too big, but there were tons of things floating around after I was done siphoning the gravel. I feel like it just stirred up the trash more than it actually siphoned it out. Is there a technique or is the massive gravel that I got with the tank stopping the siphon from working properly? and what can I do about the stuff floating around in the aquarium now?
Also since its only a 5 gallon, its hard for me to siphon the gravel for long without emptying the whole tank so I really dont have much time to use the siphon before the tank gets half empty and just full of, lets use the right word here, crap floating around.
