First time Python user - Sand as substrate - HELP..?..
Posted: Fri Mar 24, 2017 7:45 pm
Just got my python water change/gravel cleaning system, and first of all, IT ROCKS. Why in the heck I've been doing this with buckets is beyond me..... But questions.
Should I actually be stirring the sand up in the tube or just lightly vacuuming across the top of it? I ask because I found it pretty hard to pull sand up into the big tube without pulling it all the way through the system (and down the drain) - it took a lot of valve management and was generally pretty hard to do where I actually pulled any crap out of the tank without getting sand too.
