5 gallon Quarantine tank question
Hi,
On your Bare bottom Quarantine tanks how do you clean the bottoms of them. Looking for some easy way to do this that wont spook fish too much. I'm using a small 5 gallon as a quarantine. Thanks |

I just run my siphon/vacuum nozzle along the bottom.
I move decor as needed. The fish will get used to it eventually as if it's no different then an object floating in the seas
