Re: John.........Re: [AquaticLife] about not gravel cleaning the tank

 

Hi Harry,

I posted that reply to Nora without giving it the thought that I should
have done [see my recent reply to her]. If it is working well for you &
your fish then there is no point in altering it. Also, I can only comment
with any practical experience on tanks that are planted rather than 'fully
planted' tanks so apologies for that.
