    get a filter.. and siphon the gravel once a week if your fishes produce a lot of waste..

    Gravel cleaning is not such a great idea in a shrimp tank, because shrimplets like to hide in the gravel.

    If you _REALLY_ have to do it, siphon into a bucket and check for shrimplets you may have sucked up before you toss the water out.
