Hello Enrique! That is a very good question. I like to disturb my
fuge as little as possible. I do keep the glass clean, but allow a little algae to grow for my snails and I use a turkey baster now and then to blow off heavy sediment on my
LR. I also once in a while will use a shish kabob skewer and insert it into the
macro algae(I have a large quanity of spagetti
) and give it a little shake to lift off any heavy sediment, all of which rises into the water and is transported to my filter mediums and then to my
skimmer. I don't want to disturb my
fuge too much as I do not want to heavily decrease the populations of various pods there. The
macro algaes and other life forms in the
fuge are living off of these nutrients that are coming from your
DT. And of course I am no expert, but this is the method that I have found that works best for me and the set up that I have. All systems are different. I will maintain my regiment like this as I have a growing population of mini serpents and they appear to like the
fuge and help keep it clean.
I meant also to ask you.... do you have snails and any other life forms besides the pods in your
fuge?
