And there's the rub. This was a poll, and it's about 50/50 on vacuuming or not. So which side of the advice do you take? There are tanks on both sides that do great. And learning your own tank generally involves expensive mistakes. By the time most people learn their tank, the tank is getting shutdown anyway.

So, for me, based on this poll, I vacuum 50% of the time. Figure I can't go wrong, because I'm doing what 100% of the people do
