How do you guys clean solid fish waste from a planted tank? I have a siphon but it's hard to get to the substrate due to the hardscape and plants. My otos' waste output is surprisingly high given how small they are.

I have heard that people use a turkey baster to suck debris out of the subtrate.

Solid waste = plant food. I don't vaccuum the substrate, never have. I just keep a high plant density.
