I agree with schism. Thats what I do is vac the places where there aren't any plants and just swirl the vac around where its heavily planted so that it picks up dead leaves and old food. The plants will use the mulm in the gravel as nutrients so you don't have to worry about doing deep gravel vacs in the planted areas. I vac once a week with my 50% water changes.
