Alright, so i was just reading the matenience thread, and I realized that some people thing there's a difference between a water change and a gravel vac.
I've always vaccumed my gravel once a week, and that takes out the water. I thought thats what you did once a week.
But then I realized some people only vaccume their thanks once a month?? How can that be? I leave my tank unvaccumed for 2 weeks and the gravel looks dirty....I can't imagen going a month?
Do you guys do water changes and vaccumes as different things?
Besides it getting dirty, isn't it also kinda impractical to do a water change a vaccume seperetly? I mean...For both you put a siphion in the tank, for both you have to refill the tank still....
What do you think?
What do you do?
