debris

[sutton6989]

i just took all my rock out and qt my fish and coral for about 4 hours while i clearned the debris in the tank. there was alot under the rocks. i got about 3/4 of the debris but i couldnt get all of it. i was wondering is there is any CUC that is extremely good at cleaning this up?

thanks for the advice

what kind of debbris are you speaking of? It really is not a good idea to remove rock and fish just for cleaning purposes, It stirs up the sandbed and your rock acts as a filter also, and your reef will never establish if you remove everything for cleaning purposes.... Your main rock base should nver be removed unless you have a dire issue of some sort.... Removing everything totally throws off the balance of your system.

You could also increase the flow in the tank to suspend the junk so it gets filtered out via a skimmer or filter sock on your overflow.

If you don't have a sock you can also use filter floss in a ball in the sump to catch it. Stuff it under your drain line. I used to do this with a 14g that worked pretty well. Throw it out and add a new ball once a week.
