I have a well-established aquarium, freshwater with live plants and lots of gravel snails and the like. It has a biological filter system with no under gravel filtration. I was wondering if I should clean the gravel? :confused:
We have an abudance of undergravel snails that have assisted with the biological setup of the tank, but I'm not sure that I should leave 5 years of accumulated waste. If I do clean deep into the gravel it would be a huge and possibly unnecessary undertaking.
Any help with this that anyone can offer is very welcome. :)
