Hindsight...
I've got a 55g tank that I'm in the process of planting. Everything seems to be going just fine (with the exception of a small brown algae bloom).
My question is this: Should I change to a different substrate? Is that even possible without taking everything out and starting over?
If the ends justify the means, I'm willing to do the work, I'm just worried about stressing the fish.
Has anybody ever converted a stocked community tank from gravel to something else? Is it worth it, or should I just go with what I have, and use root tabs, etc...
