Fish Crazy
Can I?
What about coarse sand and small gravel? Will that help the sinking? Also just curious, when you have a completely sand bottom and do water changes, doesn't all the sand kick up from the bottom and cloud the aquarium?
another Q - is it fine to add sand when fish are in the tank or not a good idea? Loaches like sand don't they?

i've changed over a tank from gravel to sand with the fish still in the tank before. You just need to make sure the sand is very very clean, vac out the gravel first too as when you take it out it's gonna stir up loads of poop.
it is possible but if you can I'd advise taking the fish out, putting them in a big bucket or something and then doing it, wait half an hr or so for the sand to settle and then put the fish back in.
