Question: Cleaning up

[siany]

I want to buy a vacuum for our aquarium. Can anyone recommend one or do people just tend to siphon the sand in their tanks to clean up?

I personally use a turkey baster

Is it ok to use a regular aquarium gravel vac? and will the gravel vac suck up the sand? I have a large aquarium that i already use a gravel vac for so it would be nice if i could just use that, thanks!:happy:

Yes you can use a Gravel Vac, it will suck up some of the sand but practice and persistance will minimise this
