[laurasmithuk]

have my tank set up, have gravel at moment but wanna change it to sand.

where do i put fish when doing this?

and is it pretty easy to do?

Well if the tank is big enough, you can take all the aquascaping off one side of the tank, make some sort of barrier and take out that halves gravel then after rinsing, put the sand in that half then do the same for the other half.

And don't forget to shut off the filter till the dust settles. I learned this the hard way by turning the filter impeller back on before all was calm.

Yeah, good point! That's a good way to break a filter.
