Good morning all,
I’ve had my setup for over a year now....what a learning curve it’s been! I’ve dealt with diseases, algae, births and still managed to really enjoy my tank and hobby! The forum has been a great source of advice and tips but I’m now going to change my setup and need some advice . I currently have a 120ltr tank with internal filter (came with the tank), gravel bottom and artificial plants. Having seen some great aqua scaping videos I’m now going to change to an Amazonian tank with tree roots etc. My first question is how would you deal with the fish when changing the substrate (going to use sand)? Secondly, I’ve bought a new, external filter but how do I ensure the filter is safe? I can transfer the filter media but will that be enough? Finally, would you remove the gravel and pour the sand in to the aquarium with water still in it?
Any help really appreciated!
