Tank Cleaning

[Mike83]

This might sound like a dumb question, here it goes.

Lets say I have a tank with allot of plants and some bogwood.Is there a method to clean the gravel with out having to remove everything to use the gravel vac?

Just vacuum around the plants and wood. It may not get it all done but it still does most of it.

speaking of gravel vacs ,, when i use mine it has to be positioned with the bag underwater and it creates a very cloudy tank.
is this normal??
thanks

I'd say just go up to the object as far as you can go and sython as much as you can around it

I just get as close to objects as possible. Rocks, I don't move at all . Wood is moved every several months to get under it. I don't take it right out, just move it slightly. I only move one piece in a cleaning session and do it very slowly. A lot of crud collects under there and you can make a real mess if you're not careful.
