water changes...

I remember a long time ago, when I was a child, we had fish and didn't do just
partial water changes. It was the whole works. Net the fish, put them in a
temporary vase, dump the contents of the aquarium in the tub, rinse the rocks
and scrub the sides of the tank.

So I'm viewing this partial water change with a leery eye. It just doesn't
seem to get clean enough. I did about a 50% water change this past weekend -
yeah, I tried for a 25%, but got carried away with trying to get the bits up
with the vaccuum and the next thing you know, half the water is gone. I think
I've just been feeding them too much and a lot of debris is in the bottom of
the tank. Should I just do the whole shebang and start again with a clean
tank?

Thanks,
Stephanie
