So I recently got fluvial stratum to replace my current gravel, but I just realized that I really don't know what to do with it...
So I have a few questions:
- Can I vacuum it or no? Some sources say just to keep the vacuum an inch away from it, others say not to do it at all, so what do I do? (I have a fish and three snails in the tank so there is a lot of waste)
- To make it easier to clean should I put gravel on top of it or no? Some sites say it will crush the stratum's what should I do?
- Last of all, do I have to do a full recycle of my tank if I reuse some of the water currently in the tank?
Thank you in advance!
