I never have to remove any more than urates when I clean my vivs, and that is when he makes it onto a rock or branch. in fact I used to be able to smell it as soon as you enter the room when he dueced in the tank. now I can't smell it with my face over the screen tops. bioactive has been the favorite move Ive made so far, other than the herpstat 6 and mistkings. the most I normally do now is stir whatever is left after a couple days in to the substrate.

I think depth, plant life, the rain(watering) cycle, and the cuc are also probably important variables. just like a real environment, it is more than just space that makes it tick.
