Oh joy, the tri monthly detrius purge

Everything out, scrape the glass, strain the substrate, suck out crap, do 75% water change, wait for it to clear, put everything back in....

why cant fish just use the toilet? Toilets take all the crap away....

....
I haven't yet heard anyone doing this.
Who else finds this necessary?
Is it because of a lack of flow in such a small-ish tank and the large size of your substrate?

BTW, is that Majano I see on your Zoas? Or are they something else?

That doesn't sound very healthy for the tank...

Yeah, I'm not sure of the situation either, but cleaning a tank that thoroughly will kill off a huge amount of biological bacteria and probably cause a good(bad)-sized ammonia spike.

If you and I were friends, I'd say that's just not a good enough excuse
You coulda left earlier on Sat and still got home by Midnight tonight

You don't have to deal with MY wife, I do so shortest route possible with the least amount of rough roads which is almost impossible once you out of Alberta.
