can anyone give me any tips on clean up or am i doomed to stand there for hours with a net? i only have a small amount (maybe 6" x 6") but even trimming that causes havoc :crazy:
 
turn off the filter to make water surface still. using fine net first (wave the net in one direction to drive the tank water moving into a circle). this will take most of the trimmed leaves out. then siphon (keep the flow small so it can last longer) out the last remaining leaves. it will take less than an hour.

Brilliant thanks for the advice :)
