I am working with a bare bottom 15 gallon aquarium, and can’t seem to pull all the gunk out. I do regular twice weekly small water changes, clean back chambers monthly, and do a good job not over feeding.
Recently I removed the siphone and just started using the tube to get the funk out and it is working much better.
I generally take out way more water than called for by my water change and re add it back to the tank and stop when I have 3/4 gallon left and then fill up with new saltwater.
Even with all this cleaning if I blast my pumps, or just hit everything with a turkey blaster it turns into a snow globe. I do run filter floss and it catches a lot but most of it Floats right by the baffles.
So my thought was maybe I could make a system where I could buy a filter sock, stir up the tank and siphon out while I’m also pumping the water back in so I could just keep removing stuff.
Anyone else do something similar or if that nature? Any suggestions?
