Well I just finnished vacumming my gravel on my 1850g and it took me just over three hours, nothing new ,I just thought I would share that with everyone. Just out of curiosity how long does it take to vac your gravel in your tank or tanks? All up it took me about 5 hours to do all of my tanks, I normaly do them on seperate days but today I was extraodinarily bored . :coffee:

How in the world do you vaccum that thing? With a snorkel? I have a 55 and get my arm wet...do tell!
I use a very long pvc pipe conected to a gravel vac. The worst part is when you first start b/c you know you have a long road ahead of you. Talking about getting your arm wet, I have to get in the tank so that I can vac the back part which is exceptionaly difficult to do with all the drift wood in there. But hey it is all worth it. :dog:

What do your cichlids think of you getting in there?, have they ever bit you? Cichlids get really curious when something new is in there tanks.
