filters only filter the water they don't clean the walls of the tank or the gravel in your tank. you still need to move rocks and plants to get to the crap left behind that the filter cant get. you should do this when you clean your filter. depending on what sort of fish you have they can clean the tank for you cichlids will definitely clean the gravel for you as they build nests like birds and are always sucking up rocks. you should try to get a catfish as these are bottom feeders and they will stir the water up for you as well. you can get some catfish that will go good with goldfish as well.
