I have a 26gal. bow front tank with a pea gravel substrate and some good flat rocks. I also had some plants. However I saw a planted tank at a lfs (fins and feathers in Broadlands (Ashburn, VA) and LOVED it.
I have 2 10 gal tanks that are empty. I thought, if I clean them out, move over as much water as possible and split my fish down to those tanks I can empty out my current tank, pull all the gravel out and rocks and put down flourite.
Would I need to recycle, or could I just move my fish and water from my 2 10's back with some fresh water to top it off and hope it stays stable?
I have not decided which plants to put in. Should I wait and put those in before moving my fish back and do it all together?
Any other suggestions?
