Because of the unusual dimensions on the 12g long tank, I've had a tough time getting the flow pattern just right. It's either sand blowing everywhere, or lots of dead spots. So I decided to go bare bottom instead. I've just been sucking out sand with water changes over the past few weeks. Here it is almost done.
I just need to move the rocks on the left side and clean what's under them.
Plan is to replace the two small powerheads with one wp10. I'm hoping if I put it low in the tank and let it blast across the bottom it will keep things from settling... hope for the best!
