Aquarium Advice Regular
I know this question has been asked 100 times but every individual situation is different. I am looking to change from my multicolored gravel to black sand. I found some black rock blasting sand for about 8 bucks (50lbs) at tractor supply. I want to change my 55g to sand to make it look nicer and for the cories benefit also. My question is what is the best way to do this? I have a HOB Aqueon Quietflow 55/75 filter. Would I move all the fish in a tub with the tank water (with the decorations) and put the filter and heater on the tub? I am also concerned about losing BB but I have come to understand that most of the BB lives on filter media? I just don't want to kill off my fish.
Basically, What is the best way to change from gravel to sand in a 55g 4ft tank without disrupting the BB and the fishes lives too much?
