Default Sludge (yuk)

Lily Blooms sells a "muck vac" that is not that expensive. Are they not that
good?
http://www.lilyblooms.com/product.php?bigcat=2&cat=31

It's 70 USD, that would be around £39.62. Not sure if there is something
similar in the UK.

Reason I cleaned it, was I had Koi that were huge(They loved their diet of
floating catfish chow) and I wanted to have plants. Sold off the Koi and am
stocking with hardy fantails. Mike
