    I am running my tank bare bottom and no fish
    I noticed that the dirt just stays at the same place at the bottom
    I am running a 120x60X60
    What do I need to do to get movement in my tank ?

    What type of filter are you using at the moment?

    Where would the said dirt be coming from if you have no fish in the tank?

    I also have a dead spot in my tank.
    There seems to be little water flow in one of the bottom corners and lots of the poop accumulates there. I don't mind it though as in a way it makes it easier to clean.
