What is the best way to clean CC? can I move it around and have all the debree sucked up by the filter? I have a clean up crew but they dont seem to be getting everything!

The best way is to use a gravel vac hooked up to your water facuet and it will suck up all the yunk leaving your gravel. the best time to do this is when doing a water change because you will have to replace the water you sucked out.

It might if you left the gravel vac unattended. Usually it only took me (when I had CC) a few minutes to get 5 gallons (10%) of gunky water out.
