    Hi all..
    was thinking about a thread i read sometime back. Couldn't find it. Someone was asking the same question and one of the forumners replied that he used a device.. something about a narrow and wide thing that will cause the waste to be sucked up but wouldn't suck the up the gravel. Anyone remember? Where can i get a thing like that? The only thing that i can think of is part of my vacuum cleaner...

    My cleaner didn't have this part... only the bell shaped thingy that you're supposed to plunge into the gravel

    the bell thing is enuff, what the bell thing does is that it actually lessens the suction force at the mouth while still ensuring the same flowrate due to big mouth then to small mouth.... heh... confused? anyway pt is the suction is not strong enuff to suck up your gravel but is enuff to suck up debris. but what you need to do is to disturb the debris and get them to float off the gravel to be sucked in. what I do is use the bell to just disturb the water near the gravel, swirl it, etc and watch the debris all fly in!

    Normally, as far as I read, it is not necessary to vacuum clean the gravel. It contains accumulated nutrients good for the plants. Plants absorb nutrients through the roots too.

    Well. Unless the gunk is too unsightly....
