After reading through multiple threads across these forums, I get the impression that there is no definitive answer to vacuum a tank, unless someone knows differently of course :blink: Frequent water changes are obviously a must, but as an example, in a planted tank, aggressive vacuuming...

Can anyone please offer me any advise regarding high nitrate levels, I recently bought a API test kit and all the test were good except the nitrate which was 80ppm. My tank is not over stocked and I am very careful about over feeding too so was unsure of the cause. I looked at many forums and...
