Switching To Sand From Gravel

The bucket method is definitely labor intensive. Glad it seems to have worked for you.

Yeah but i prolly went through a ungodly amount of water having the faucet on halfway for about 6 hours. But it looks great.

Another question...
If i was to kick up some sand accidently when the fish are in it. To the point where it is cloudy and hard to see them. What should you do? Is that deadly to them? Or can they survive the settling of it?

The fish will be fine, the concern is more about the filter impeller.

Beware scratching the glass with sand grains if you are stirring it up, it only needs one bad grain of sand to be rubbed down the tank side to cause a scratch that you will never get rid of. I know, I did it.

Thanks. I didnt even think of that.
