My biggest aro eats a lot and up untill now have no problem eating and its creating big problem he poops a lot and its getting heavier and bigger accordingly.
U see my big and heavy problem in maintaining his house?
I do have black moon tahitian sands about 1 inch thick across the tank, I love it ands its pretty heavy sand compare to those pool sand or alike.
The poop is an eyesores to me because its big poop and brown sticking out every day and just piling on the sand. My over 2 feet long vac tube that u get from any lfs don't have the power to suck the food effciently any more and I look arround my lfs for more better vac up to no available this time.
So I can't keep the tank free of poop anymore in timely manner unless I want to drain the whole tank out with the vac to take the poop out and that would be the longest WC ever LOL.
What ur guys secret?
I can't put the inlet tube of my filter too close or sand will get sucked :(
And I love the sand too much
 
LoL just think if ya had four 27"+ arowana:WHOA:
 
Honestly I'm able to gently get poo particles into a net and just throw them away ... And I use a turkey baster for my ray poo. Works like a charm.

i do not have problem with floating poops..its the heavy poops im getting tired of :P
netting it is doable but i will run out of sand in the tank in no time with the frequency i have
