People with 50/50 setup

My set up is about 2/3 land, 1/3 water. I don't run a filter since I just do water changes as needed. I have used a small fish net (the kind pet stores use to get fish out of tanks) to help filter our substrate. Shop-vac works great too when the substrate settles to the bottom, but obviously you take a lot of water with that also. If you don't have a shop-vac, a siphoning gravel-vac may also work (also needs to be settled on the bottom).

my water isn't deep enough for siphoning. I attempted that and failed haha.
