My tank has been set up for over 5 years and I don’t clean my sandbed because it looks clean. I only clean my mid section of the sump which where I keep the caulerpas, live rocks and bio balls there. The first chamber is where the water comes down, skimmer and I put some bio balls there.
Most of the detritus got caught in the bottom of first and second chamber. Now the question is, by cleaning it weekly does it disturb amything and also siphone away the good bacteria and pods?
Also is there such things is too much bio balls? Plan on adding some more, nitrate and phosphate are high 40ppm/.40
