kilroy Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Hi, I vacuum around the rocks. I find that moving rocks unnecessarily can stress the fish out, and with some species (like tropheus) that is not something you want do do. I have a powerhead set up so there are currents in the tank that will get rid of a lot of the crap that builds up in the rockwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Eatoff Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 If you have less sensitive fish, then i find taking the rocks out easiest. Sometimes the fish can really store a lot of poos under the rocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkesg Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I lift the rocks once in a while and flush out any built up crap, find the fish settle pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
