Hi. everyone
I have some question about synodontis tank. I saw many tank they use powdered sand.I doubt about when timing to clean up. How to do it. Posible to show picture for me.It to easy to understand.
THANK YOU SO MUCH

Hello,
You may be afraid that you have to vacuum the sand. But that is not necessary.
What you need is a good filter. The fishes themselves will move the dirt by cruising the tank and when searching for food. This stirred up dirt will end up in the filter. Avoid dead angles where the dirt could gather, like a piece of wood lying on the sand in a corner.
I have been working with sand for many years and it works great, also because the dirt can't get into the sand - contrary to (small) pebbles.
For pictures pls see My Aquaria.
Good luck!
