so whats the best way to do a quick clean-up(poop old food...) i've been using a net and scooping up from time to time. that way when i do a full cleaning it doesn't take to long. i have a hard time getting between the stuff in there.

Get a turkey baster. It's like a long tube with a compressable ball at the end so when you squeeze it it sucks up water. I use it to suck up poop and old food all the time!

Yes, a dedicated turkey baster works well, especially for smaller tanks.

i got one today at the market, works great. suck the poop right up and it helps move stuff around for the filter to pick up

Or a 1/4" siphoning tube. Works great and is strong enough to pick up almost anything
