Re: [APD] Speaking of substrate vaccuming...

["Rachel Sandage" <rachelsor at hotmail_com>]

I think it depends on what you mean by "vacuum the substrate". If you mean shoving the gravel vac deep in the substrate to remove debris, as my sons do in their plastic-plant only tanks, then no, it is not necessary. If you mean running the gravel vac lightly over open surfaces to remove debris, I would say this is something that should be done.

  In a heavily planted tank, where it is somewhat difficult, is it true that
  it isn't necessary to vaccume the substrate?
