here is our 20 gal high. We just put the sand in about 3 days ago. I need to revamp the lighting to better accommodate the plants...but here it is.

Beautiful aquarium. Do you vacuum your sand?

Thank you. I have only had the sand in for about a week... so I haven't done a water change with it in yet. It really doesn't look like I will need to. I honestly can't see any food or food anywhere but the filter. I will just have to look closer when I do my water change today or tomorrow.

No matter if there is food and waste at the bottom or not, you should still do a water change at least every week.

Yeah I just re read my post, I should have specified that I meant I wouldn't need to vacuum (possibly). I do water changes every week. I used to do them on Saturday, but we changed the substrate (from gravel to sand) mid week, along with about 60-70% of the water that day. So I am going to do a small one today, and then a larger one on Saturday again to get back on schedule.

Thanks for watching out for me though.

I was curious, is it even possible to vacuum the sand without it getting sucked up?

I occasionally vacuum my sand. I put a valve (aka c-clamp, lol) on the hose going to the bucket to control the flow. Just enough to suck out the dirt and not the sand. It also gives me more time to vacuum before bucket is full. It works well. I don't vacuum that much anymore since I got a goby. He does a great job.
