When you gravel vac you should use a circular motion to act as a cyclone and lift the grime off the substrate this will leave any heavier particles in place e.g. sand, animals minimising loss. Also MTS dig 80% of the daytime and mainly come out at night to wander along the surface. If yo see a consistently high amount of them then reduce feeding as they are hoovering up waste food.

the snails are too heavy to get sucked up, and you shouldnt need to vac as often as the snails do a great clean up job, di
