	Quick Question
CeltGirl Enthusiast Posts: 170 Votes: 0 Registered: 08-May-2004	I have a question, and I think this is board it needs to be on, but if I'm wrong, please tell me. Yesterday, as I was doing my normal weekly 15% water change and gravel vac, I noticed that nothing at all came out of the gravel when I stirred it around and tried to vacuum it. Every other time I've done a gravel vac I've sucked up something, so I'm wondering if something could be wrong. Also, if it's important, I'm running a UGF with a powerhead. Thanks in advance.
