Hello all!

Hope everyone is well.

Recently had a floating problem with Penny, I figured it was my fault with not cleaning the food out very well, so I decided to get rid of the sand to make my life easier, sorry Penny!

Anyway, to the piccytures!!

This is the tank before;

And now;

The hardest thing with to make it colourful!

And now for Penpen!

I don't know if you've noticed but there seems to be quite a bit of muck on the bottom of the tank, there's still abit of sand left, but does anyone with bare bottom tank have any successful clean up plans that doesn't remove too much water?

Thanks in advance,
M x

Great tank and great axie
My tank is bare bottom, and I use a turkey baster for sucking up foulnesses -- v effective.

The tank still looks great! Is that a mixture of live and plastic plants you have in there?

For my bare bottom tanks, if I just want to remove debris and not water then I just use a turkey baster to get the stuff up then squirt it through a brine shrimp net. This method works well except for the really, really fine stuff. I hope that makes sense.

Fab idea Justin& Optimist!
I've tried it out with a tea strainer and it's done a brillant job!

caje816; There's two fake plants at the back, I use them to slow the filter. The rest are real.


Thanks everyone. :artist:
