If you still do - they you're probably not using a Python No-Spill, and I'd definitely recommend getting one.

IF YOU GET A UNDER GROUND FILTRATION SYSTEM THIS WILL CUT THE CLEANING DOWN ALOT. I HAVE 2-55 GAL. FRESHWATER. 3-10 GAL. FRESHWATER AND 1-10 GAL. SALTWATER. IN THE CLEANING PROCESS THERE IS NO GARNTIES. I SHOULD KNOW. I ALSO HAVE A EXTENDED TUBE ON MY FILTERING SYSTEM TO HELP PICK UP ALOT OF STUFF FROM THE BOTTOM. IF YOU GOT SMALL FISH THE TUBE CAN SUCK THEM IN THEN YOU CAN GET SPONGES FROM THE PET STORE. YOU CAN REUSE THIS JUST RINCE ONCE AWEEK LIKE YOU NEED TO WITH YOUR FILTER WITH THE CARBINE. I CAN ALSO TELL YOU HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR CARBINE FILTER. I HAVE LEARNED ALOT ABOUT CLEANING MY TANKS. ANY MORE QUESTIONS JUST EMAIL ME. lavrisa_bmpw@yahoo.com I ALSO HAD FISH STORE

Actually, the fish don't care if the water is a bit murky for a while. This is a common occurrence with all gravel vacuums and with refilling the tank. It helps if you go slower with the gravel vacuum, but the nitrifying bacteria will dine on those tiny bits so you don't have to worry about them building up too much. A protein skimmer will remove particles of that size, but it need only be used for aesthetic reasons and generally isn't worth the cost unless you have a marine tank.

After 4-6 weeks and you have that much debris.YOU ARE OVER FEEDING. Cut back emmensly.If you feed daily, cut back to every other day, and only feed what they will eat with in 3 mins.I never recommend feeding a fish more often than every other day.
