i need some good detritus eaters any suggestions?

[demonclownfish]

Once a week I use a turkey baster to blow these areas of stagnate flow so that to suspend the detritus. This way it makes it to my filtration area and so that the skimmer can more readily remove it. I also have a Knano in my sump near my skimmer to keep the crap in suspension so the skimmer can get to it!

I also simulate a 'Hurricane' every 4th or 5th water change. I do this by holding a power head and moving it around the tank blasting the rocks of their holes and the nooks and crannies. I then do a 10-15 gallon water change.

but in a smaller tank wouldnt that screw the waterparams?

It could, but by doing a good water change right after should be fine. There is no reason to allow that much build up, ever. It will take a few days and water changes to get on top of it, but once you do just maintain!

Thats how I roll, on both tanks. Once a week I blast my overflows too, so the detritus goes down to the skimmer rather than just mounding up.
