Aquarium Advice Regular
Hello all,
I received my tank from a buddy that has had it up and running for a few years. We made the transition to my house and I have had it for about 3 weeks now. He is old school therefore he had a gravel bed filter in it and is still in the tank now using crushed coral. Im also using two power filters made by tetra but dont know much about them. I read somewhere that the coral bed can cause high nitrates which I have, over 150. I was curious as to if I need or could switch it out for sand and if so how to do it.
