gravel disaster

[diannpf]

hello i have just tried to clean my gravel with a gravel cleaner and while trying to suck up the dirt all that has been accomplished is making it spread. What is the best way to clean the gravel?

if you have a large bin or container empty as much water as you can into it then scoop gravel out.
make sure axie isnt in there first lol put him in a container with some of his water.
clean out tank and replace water and axie

Yes I agree, basically remove the gravel. As you've found out, there's alot of hidden dirt/gunk that builds up beneath the gravel (and filter plate if you have an UG filter).
