Sounds like maybe I should go to vacuuming at each water change, rather than every other? With only the five small fish, there really isn't a great deal of detritus showing when the water is agitated with the vacuum. Honestly, I was doing only 1/4 of the bed as I had read and heard from the lfs that vacuuming the gravel too early can result in disturbing the bacterial colonies trying to form in the gravel.
Should I consider doing the 15-20% water change more often than once a week? Just read that somewhere as I browsed around more articles...
