    For Your Friendship - MeganL3985 Thanks for the spam alert! - fins_n_fur just cause - jackson17 

    Default Cleaning the gravel

    I have a quick question about cleaning food (extra that falls to the bottom) from the tank. (I did search but didn't see anything)

    What should I use to clean the extra food that falls into the gravel out of my tank?

    A shiphon hose works really well and almost everyone uses that. You could find one for a couple $ at any petstore.

    Bottom feeders such as cories and loaches work very as well, but I'd still vacum the gravel everyonce in awhile.
