Water change

No I don't have sand, basically for that reason. I did test all the parameters when I mixed the water and had to adjust some.

I'm close to the bottom of the bucket. I also never knew you were supposed to roll a bucket around so maybe there's more of something now that I'm reaching the bottom.

All good thoughts, I'm just thinking there's lots of dead crap in the rocks that's going to take awhile to clear out with regular water changes.

how's your flow? It helps, as said above, to have flow pattern changes to avoid dead spots.

What do you mean flow changes? I have three power heads in there at the moment. I don't have a wave maker or anything, they are just in steady.

Yes, it is my understanding that pulsing the powerheads and changing up the flow pattern is very beneficial.
