Im new to aquarium fish, got a nice 29 gal setup with a good mech/chem/bio filter but i have qusetions about my choose of decor and how it will affect the cycle in my tank.
Ive 2 modest size silk plants, 1 large silk plant, 2 good size rocks and for the bottom it was suggested to me by a LPS to go with a mixture of crushed coral, reef sand and suger sand. with a put in the bottm of the tank. ive also got 2 platys and 2 tetras as my cycle fish with i choose because they are tuff and cheap. but after about a week of fish crapping the bottom of the tank is reall dirty.
my question is do i need to get some scavengers to clean up the bottom? or can i vacum the bottom somehow with out sucking away all my sand?
