cleaning small bits of debris on top of sand

michaelparas · 05-14-2007, 05:07 PM

Hi, I have a power head with wet/dry filter setup on my 20 gallons. I see small bits of dirt on top of the sand that seems not being removed by the powerhead suction. How do I clean that up? with siphoning?

thanks!

More current.

Waste accumulations are due to not having enough flow to hold the waste in suspension to be removed by other filtration devices/filters.
