Any advice on gravel hidden underneath riccia meshes? i got a shock when i removed the meshes for retying this afternoon - the layer of gunk on my gravel was disgusting.[]
Resistance is futile, you will be administrated!

Ummmm... don't do the normal gravel vacuuming that disturb the gravel. Just siphon off whats sitting on the surface of the gravel. Personally, I seldom clean the gravel. Shrimps and bottom feeding fishes will usually scavenge leftover food... OTOH, if you have lots of leftover food, then you're probably feeding too much or too fast (i.e. food sinks to the bottom before the fishes get most of it).----------------

Cleaning of gravel is done when I'm doing water change. I will siphon out the dirt as the water is changed.....

My advice is to leave it.... avoid disturbing yhe riccia, else they will float up easily.
