How often would you suggest I vacuumed the gravel/substrate ? I have Tahitian moon.
I've been told once a week along with a 50% PWC (partial water change using de-chlorinated water, of course!). But it depend on the size of the tank and whether it is fully cycled ahead of time.
Hello bluz...
You don't need to vacuum the gravel. The material that settles to the bottom of the tank eventually dissolves in the water and are removed through large, frequent water changes.

A gravel vac is a handy way to perform pwc. it removes waste and future ammonia sources and water too. Definitely do one once a week.
