I'm finally pulling the trigger on my substrate change in my 75 g tank. I've got the Turface I'm going to use (all 100 lbs of it) and I'm all set I think. I just don't have the time to do it today. I'm figuring 4-5 hrs and probably more to do it right.
My plan:
Drain some of the water from the tank into a 35g tub.
Remove all the plants and decorations.
Disconnect heater, filter, etc....
Drain more water into the 35g tub
Catch all the fish and transfer them into the tub.
Drain the rest of the tank.
Scoop all the gravel from the tank into a smaller 18g tub for storage
Clean out any detritus or other garbage accumulating in the tank
Add the Turface. Refill about halfway with new water and dechlorinate
Add the plants and decorations and transfer the fish back into the tank.
Add the old water from the 35g tub to the tank.
Collapse in a heap from exhaustion in front of the tank and enjoy the view
Does this sound like a good plan? This is a 75g tank I'm doing this to.
