New to the hobby and trying not to ask too many questions before i have had a read, but sometimes my brain is very much like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole!!
my tank is a 300 ltre low tech
just lights and filtration
im becoming obsessed with cleaning (my wife will never attest to this)
i have a gravel base and the fish waiste is very obvious ... my tank has been running for 6 weeks and i have been doing a weekly 50% water change ( not a complete new tank stripped down my old 180 and moved into new tank)
my problem is i keep doing gravel cleans to reduce the amount of detritus but the amount of time it takes i end up doing another minimum of 30-40% water change!
my question is should i be so worried about the build up or is the natural waiste actually good for my plants
thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this
ps will not always be a newb one day i will pay it forward
