Still Vacuuming Substrate? - Here's How To Stop!

Man I must say my freshwater tank is where it is today because of you Kev and the caveman channel really love your videos bro since day one of me starting my tank. I haven’t had to vacuum my tank in like 4 months myself because of my two wave makers constantly working👍🏾 jus doing my weekly water changes and my water stays crystal clear man you guys better hit that sub button and follow along with Kev man he always make very helpful videos. Thanks bro

Hi, best advice ever! Please keep posting more advice its really appreciated. I have a 1.2m deep tank, had major difficulty keeping the substrate clean. Your advice was awsome thanks.

Thanks Kev! Found your channel today and have been binging for hours! Doing all my research now to prep for getting a big tank for 2 Koi. You got the best content Ive seen so far!

Kev firstly thanks for providing such great knowledge and helping us all to have a great tank that we look at. I have 3 tanks and I follow a lot of Kev’s advise and it just keeps the fishes happy and seeing them healthy and hearty make my day. All thanks to the Kevman.

What a great piece of advise! Been doing since video first dropped and can tell you it saves so much time! I push may top wave maker down so that as the pump runs in opposite side it sucks up waste and out hose to toilet. This a game changer! Kev you the MAN!🤛🏽

Kev you seriously got me loving this hobby and I just wanna thank you for your helpful knowledge.

I’m sure I am not the only one to say that your videos are so helpful. I don’t have African cichlids but I do have a Midas/Red Devil and a Flowerhorn in a 125 gallon. I am planning on getting a Fluval FX-6 here shortly and can’t wait to install it. Thank you for all the helpful tips.

Dude I just found you today subscribed already! I need to get a wavemaker for my tank! Thanks for the information about it! So far LOVE THE VIDEOS!!!!! Please keep it coming!

Want to say Thanks first of all ... Man you gave me alot of good information for a beginner on this fish community hobby. I am two years in and still learning alot... Thanks for all the info you share...

I bought my first couple cichlids bro. You all the help i needed. Bless up brotha 💯💯💯

Sound advice! Kev you always give great information. Quick and to the point.

I'm glad I found your video right before I spent money on vacuuming stuff. Since I put a Wavemaker on my 75G African chiclid tank, there's barely any stuff laying around on top of my pool filter sand. I just suck what I can with the hose that I use to remove the water. The FX6 catches the rest. I'll keep it like that. And yes, my aquascape is very minimalist. I even took my 3d background out. It used too much room and it trapped junk back there. Plus my fish would hide back there 80% of the time! Thank you for another great video!

Your tank does look nice. I'm using a sump overflow system (overflow sponge and pre-filters, plumbed to a FX6) and the return nozzle is coming out at the overflow on the right side of my 150gal. The FX6 is blasting the water across the tank slamming into the far left wall 72" away and was working great on the detritus, I guess like the wave maker does. Unfortunately all my fish are juvenile Tanganyikans (Fronts and Comps) 1" to 1-1/2" long. It was blowing them around like the cow caught in the tornado in the Wizard of OZ. I had to adjust the flow to a corner of the tank. Great information Kev, and it works, but I'm still stuck gravel vac-ing... my sand looks like you sprinkled paprika all over it by the end of the week. The positive thing about this whole situation is, my Green Dragon Bushynose is getting fat. 😏

Great Content! Thanks Kaveman. As always, condensed logical info. Truly greatful.

Your tank looks amazing! Thanks for the tip!

I have not a wave maker, but a powerjet kind of just simple filter that has coarse foam in it - it blasts from one side of the tank to the other. I LOVE this filter, but my little fishes are like OMG WHERE AM I and they get knocked around a bit. I love how it moves my sand around and makes "waves" and bumps in my sand and it constantly moves the water. I also used it without fish to cycle the tank before we got fish and it made my tank so clean and crystal clear for nearly a month and a half. They are awesome and I would love to use it with my little fish lol.

Thank you for your service. Great channel. Great videos.

The exact topic-suggestion-information I'm looking for .... Thankyou

I love and appreciate how much free information you give everyone that’s why I dnt mind doing my pet I’ve already purchased few things thru you thanks lot bro appreciate you
