I mentioned before in another thread that I have a 100ft python hose that I hang out the window and drain my hose to water the grass or flowers(makes me feel less guilty when I'm changing 75% water daily) and my water bill is already high. I have a 75 gallon tank with then an inch of pool sand in it (its so thin that I have bare spots in the tank) I have 7 discus, 3 cory's and notice that my python will suck up the giant discus poop but sifts thru the cory poop.
I have tried using different siphons with a short tube and drain to a bucket to see if it made a difference but its as if the cory poop is to tiny and iit doesn't get picked up. I notice more and more black flecks in the pool sand which I'm assuming is poop???
The fish are all doing great but I wonder if anyone else has experience pool sand difficultywith cleaning? How often do you change your pool sand?
This is a display tank in my family room so I would prefer not to go BB
