Hiya!
I'm just thinking about something I'll have to worry about in the future after my 70 gal. tank is set up and inhabited. I'm putting in a DSB and plan on adding some LS to it. The problem I'm faced with is... To clean, or not to clean?
I used to siphon the inch and a half of CC I used to have to get out all of the detritus material, and a few bristle worms, but once I get the sand in there... if I vacuum, it will flow out with the water. So do I just rely on clean up crew members and the stuff in the LS to clean the substrate at this point? OR is there a way to clean up the sand surface without siphoning out the good stuff?
Confucious is confused, say Grasshoppa...
