this video is a wholistic look at the effects of gravel Vacuuming your aquarium. It can range from being a necessary part of maintenance, to a deadly disturbance to the PH, Ammonia, Nitrates, Nitrites and or TDS of your aquarium. In this video I cover some basics of how to use a gravity fed Siphon aka gravel vacuum, both with and without the hand assisted squeeze bulb pump.
Don't ever be embarrassed or afraid to ask questions in this community. we all have to learn things at one time or another, and gravel Vacuuming, aquarium maintenance, algae cleaning and filter maintenance or cleaning are not subjects anyone should be expected to know intuitively.
So if you are a seasoned pro who just wants to brush up on some basics of how to gravel vac a style of tank you haven't kept in years, or you are brand new to the hobby of fishkeeping and aquascaping- this is for you! We cover Sand substrate, Active planted tanks, gravel, layered and dirted tank methodology in this episode, as well as some tips and tricks for starting a water changing Siphon, without sucking on a tube or hose. enjoy!
