This is just amazingly helpful. I used to get frustrated how much water I'd have to replace in my tank. Obviously I do water changes, but don't want to replace 50-75% every time! I never thought to crimp the hose. This method has saved so much grief. I didn't want the debris to fall back down in so always waited for it to exit the siphon, dropped the gravel ad moved on. This is so much more efficient!

I just watched your planted tank videos, and I guess I'm just confused how to know when to vacuum. If fish waste helps fertilize the plants, what point is there in removing it if your tank is cycled and you have live plants?
@AquariumCoop7 жыл бұрын
Exactly, there is no specific point really. This is how nature works. The point of removing debris from the tank would be to get more water clarity really. Kind of like sweeping your floor. We could live on dirt floors, we prefer it to look cleaner is all. So it comes down to mostly a personal preference.

@ballsdeep994u6 жыл бұрын
Nitrates build up. The only way not cleaning up your substrate could work is doing frequent large water changes to remove the waste from the water column as it breaks down. You also need a thicker than normal substrate. Sound practice is you don't do deep gravel vacs around your plants. Another option would be to use a liquid fertilizer. Most plants will uptake micro and macro nutrients from the water column. Another option is root tab fertilizer. Either way you can still clean the waste from your substrate.

Glad I watched this video. I was starting my syphon wrong, and the crimping of the hose idea is genius!!!!

Your awesome for sharing an easier and effective way of vacuuming and cleaning. All these years I have been doing it wrong. Thanks again

Thank you for this great video.. I have been struggling with my 60 gallon tall tank that's been up and running for 4 months and I am forever doing water changes but had a hard time cleaning the bottom... Your a life saver..
