new here. 29 gal freshwater. python vacuum doesnt seem to be picking up ALL the waste.
hi. ive set up a 29 gallon freshwater. aquaclear 50 filter. 200w heater. tahitian moon sand. few pieces of driftwood with some anubias attached.
its stocked with 8 tetra glofish and 8 zebra danio glofish. theres also one albino bristlenose pleco.
my problem is that i bought the python vacuum:

but it doesnt seem to be picking up ALL the waste at the bottom during my water changes. i end up doing about 30-40% water changes because im sitting there trying to vacuum stubborn fish waste up. i see your aquarium pictures and they are IMMACULATE. mine doesnt get that clean even right after vacuuming. i dont want to keep vacuuming trying to get the waste because 30-40% weekly water changes is already way too much. any advice? the pleco is only about 1.5" right now. i think my waste situation will be a disaster when he grows to his 6" max length.
thank you in advance.
