hi,
I have a little frustration with cleaning my tropical tank. i have a 100ltr with about 10 fish in, few guppies, mollies, tetras. I did have white gravel in my tank but have recently changed it to a coloured thinner gravel as the white went horrible brown and I hated it. I empty about 50 - 60% of the water then hoover out the gravel and suck the gravel so it cleans it all round the tank. When I put the fresh treated water back in however, I can still see bits floating round the tank. Then when everything settles with the clean water it is crystal clear and looks fantastic. Is this normal? I cleaned the filters tuesday so I know it can't be that. Am I hoovering enough up when I clean? Any advice much appreciated.
