yea i shall
right. The sand is washed and the gravel is out. Water still in. Already looking a bit cloudy from all the shoveling of gravel. If i empty it and put new water in will this make my cycle start again. I cant imagine being able to pour water onto sand without it all coming up and making water all sandy, does sand clog filter. Just debating weather or not to empty it
Well, since your cycles only just begun, id empty the tank and take the gravel out, you cant really put sand in with it full of water anyway.
You could use a nutrient rich substrate under your sand, but if you only want a couple of plants i wouldnt bother.
I changed from gravel to sand the day i changed from a fish-in to fishless cycle.
