Today I changed the substrate by taking out all the fish, putting them into temporary tanks, syphoned off all the water, put the plants in the temp tanks, then put new (washed) playsand in.
I replanted the tank straight away and put in new (well soaked) wood. The tank is still cloudy, and its around 3 hours since I completed the work. I am running the established filter in the tank. I have added some carbon to the filter in the hope it will clean up the water too.
I really want to get the fish back in, as Im not happy with them in the temp tanks, they arent very large and the filtration is a bit basic. I have put a couple of platys in, just as scouts really to see if they are OK.
How long should I leave the tank before putting the fish back in?
