Now my question is:

Is it mandatory to vaccuum out debris, ie: poop and rotting food particles and such?

Before you answer that, how would it be possible if, and I've seen aquariums with little to no sand visible. For example, a "grass" covered bottom, or plants covered bottom.

How does one vaccuum such said aquarium? OR don't you vaccuum, but I have always been told that vaccuuming was a nessecity as well as water changes?

Now being said, my next tank hopefully if all goes well, will have a large sandy area, so vaccuuming will be easy...
