 One thing that I can definately recomend is

You are right, Ed, it sure would lower those nutrients. Perhaps I read this
incorrectly. Are you actually recommending removing the fish and cleaning
the substrate of a planted tank? If you mean what it sounds like you mean I
*definitely* would NOT recommend it. It's about the worst thing you could
do to a planted tank.... and certainly an excellent way to really stress
your fish. If you are only talking about cleaning debris off the surface...
why would you want to remove the fish??
