comfortably numb
i syphon up all the loose stuff every day. and every other day i take out the wood and the valis ( which is literlly bunched in lead and dropped in for a bit of colour. after all it only costs me 50 p a bunch) syphon up all the loose stuff ( or just scoop it up with the net dependiing on how much there is ) , scrub the bottom with a soft scouring pad , which removes any film as you can always see it kind of sticks to the scourer . then i rinse out the scourer go over teh bottom again and give the sides a wipe . do 30% waterchange and while the water is draining from the tank i take the wood and wash it under the shower , then as teh tank is refilling put sll the wood etc back.
bit of a mission but its always been a labour of love with my fish and it only takes about an hour every other night with about 10 mins on a quick once over on the other nights.
