How do I get rid of excessive ditriss in a 29 Gallon Bio cube without having to use a siphon? I was thinking of using something natural...like an animal or something, but I wasn't sure what to use. If it comes down to using a siphon than I guess I'll have to.
The problem with the Bio cubes is that they don't have very good filtration when you have a lot of items in the tank. I have 4 fish & 2 crabs. One crab is an emerald crab and the other was toted to be an emerald crab but it grew up into a big black monster crab about 1 1/2 inches big. I keep a reef tank and I clean the tank every week--regular maintenance. I just can't figure out how to get rid of the crap without having to use a siphon. Is there any way other than using a siphon? I ask because I have a sand bed and I'm afraid of sucking up the sand.
