I vacuum my substrate deep. Meaning I slide the tube under the substrate. I also only have a semi permanent rock scape so I can move it (which I do about once every six months) and get under it to remove the junk. And this one big bucket as to why. Oh and by the way I vacuum at least twice a week for regular maintenance so this is not build up. It’s only this horrifically bad when I go under the rocks. But it goes to show you what’s under there. And when I do it 2x a week the water is pretty dirty. If I don’t deep clean and just do a water change my water is crystal clear in the bucket. So you’d never know that much garbage was in the tank.
