Will someone please invent clothing that is aquarium safe please. Ideally with were short sleeves, light weight, and that is hydrophobic.
In all seriousness though. I have found that with my aquarium, being 60 cm deep it can be quite difficult to hoover up the various detritus in all the nooks and crannies of the aquarium. I have hit upon the idea of a densely planted aquarium but all the plants are attached to bogwood, this allows the complete removal of the plant and also allows the plant itself to be cleaned- in between the leaves etc- using the already syphoned out tank water.
A question however, for anyone who has carpeting plants. How do you remove the detritus within the carpeting plants?
I have hair grass, and short of mowing it to about 1 cm in height i can't get the dirt out, initially i didn't mind so much but my nitrate levels started to climb so i removed the hair grass, problem solved you might say, but i like the carpet so a bit of help would be wonderful.
