i have been doing regular water changes. usually every 7 days, once it stretched to 10...but that's not exactly irregular. i think i'm going to be doing a 25-50% WC every 5 days until the nitrates are down, and keep vaccuming the substrate.
btw, just to make sure (again!), i'm not taking out all of my good bacterias by vaccuming the substrate, am i? it's only about a 2" sandbed, so there's nothing anaerobic to disturb...
