[AquaticLife] tank cleaning?


I vacuum the whole surface quickly and then go back and do about half to the depth of the substrate. Are you doing 50% water changes?

I’m new to aquariums and I have a 54 gallon - my question is this - when I do my vacuuming/PWC, I don’t seem to have enough time to vacuum the entire tank before the water level starts getting too low…. is it standard to only vacuum one area at a time each time you do this? I have a lot of plants in my tank so it’s also hard to vacuum around the plants. Am I using too much water pressure, resulting in too fast of a water loss? Thanks for your comments and thoughts!
