This is just amazingly helpful. I used to get frustrated how much water I'd have to replace in my tank. Obviously I do water changes, but don't want to replace 50-75% every time! I never thought to crimp the hose. This method has saved so much grief. I didn't want the debris to fall back down in so always waited for it to exit the siphon, dropped the gravel ad moved on. This is so much more efficient!

Long story short, I re-homed the big guys and kept the dwarf Gourami. I've almost got my 10 gal tank cycled (yay!) but it was sooo cloudy and I thought it was the substrate being full of silt. Turns out I didn't know the simple and CORRECT way to vacuum! My water is so beautiful now and my little guy, "Gill" is so happy! THANK YOU, you are my aqua hero!! Cheers, Sondra

I can confirm that the basters can get a bit messy, but they start up surprisingly well? Just squeeze the bulb and it does the rest. I've found that the biggest issue is that gravel can get stuck in the tube... I'm wondering if there's a way to rig it to be a less messy. Kinda wish I could cut the end to make the tip less of a gravel trap. The size is ideal for nano tanks, especially 5 gallons.

@feminista89 6 жыл бұрын

I just watched your planted tank videos, and I guess I'm just confused how to know when to vacuum. If fish waste helps fertilize the plants, what point is there in removing it if your tank is cycled and you have live plants?

@AquariumCoop 6 жыл бұрын

Exactly, there is no specific point really. This is how nature works. The point of removing debris from the tank would be to get more water clarity really. Kind of like sweeping your floor. We could live on dirt floors, we prefer it to look cleaner is all. So it comes down to mostly a personal preference.

Aquarium Co-Op Thanks for clarifying!

@alexandrahuang7731 5 жыл бұрын

It is likely about finding balance too right. Because if there is more waste than plants are processing then it could be building a toxic environment for your ecosystem?

@ballsdeep994u 5 жыл бұрын

Nitrates build up. The only way not cleaning up your substrate could work is doing frequent large water changes to remove the waste from the water column as it breaks down. You also need a thicker than normal substrate. Sound practice is you don't do deep gravel vacs around your plants. Another option would be to use a liquid fertilizer. Most plants will uptake micro and macro nutrients from the water column. Another option is root tab fertilizer. Either way you can still clean the waste from your substrate.

Great video. Although I use a similar gravel vacuumer there are a whole lot of tips on method in the video I hadn't seen before and realise would make cleaning much easier - grateful for that.

I have successfully kept 4 electric blue rams now! Alongside other ram species in separate tanks and today your video has taught me how to more carefully deal with the sponge filter and also the better method to cyphining with the crimping method so thank you very much for helping us fish enthusiasts!!!

This is literally the best video I’ve ever seen on gravel vacuuming. Thanks so much for posting. It’s so satisfying to watch that water run clean!! I’ve been doing it so wrong :(

The crimping is an awesome idea! Thanks for the new technique.

I have learned a lot from this video alone compared to a bunch of other videos I've seen on how to properly use a siphon! Thank you for this very informative demonstration! I have a nano tank, but the procedure will be the same.
