It very likely is nitrates in the substrate that's the problem, but it's a lot 
bigger problem than a turkey baster or a gravel vaccum (which I /have/ used 
recently) can take care of. That's why I need to do a teardown, to remove the 
substrate and completely clean it, in order to get the situation under control. 

I'll probably do it this weekend.
