I have a 5-gallon glass tank for my 2 hermit crabs. I feed them river shrimps twice a day, but they leave a lot of food untouched, which tends to settle on the bottom of the tank between and under the rocks. I have a shallow rock bed, but no soil or gravel. Is there an alternative to dumping the entire tank in order to flush out the leftovers from the bottom?

In general you should feed an amount the crabs eat in a short time. There should be nothing left over, because it has bad effects to the water's quality and then to the health of your crabs.– AllerleirauhSep 26, 2021 at 10:17

I have a turtle, it produces a lot of poo, so I had this kind of tool:
The water is pulled into the pipe and pushed out trough the net of fabric, so the dirt stays in this fabric bag.
Now I have some fish, who eat the poo. Less work for me :)
