View Full Version : how to clean tank?


May 2nd 05, 08:06 PM
Can anyone point me to a website with directions on cleaning a salt water
tank (mostly LR and FO with a few corals)? Am I supposed to vacuum the
bottom every few months? Or just change water and scrape the walls? I am
from the freshwater world, so it is a little different there...

Thanks.

What you need to do for maintance depends on how your tank is setup. If
you have a live sand bed, you do not vacuum the bottom. If the tank is
bare bottom vacuuming is a good idea.
