In one display I vaccume out the top layer of sand and replace it with

That tank always needs bright white sand though.

otherwise I leave it, messing with it destroys all me worm burrows.


Doesn't that cause diatom blooms? Seems you'd be stirring things up a bit
by doing that.

Yea well the next week I come I can vaccume more out!
nah doesn't seem to cause blooms per say
but they do so love the brite white sand
and as long as thats what they want
to avoid drama
thats what they get
I only take the top layer
and this is one mature tank
the rest I just scrape the side with a chopstick
You don't get blooms when ya waterchange
and have a solid biological filter
:-)
if ya did I woulda quit ages ago
