ARRRGH!!! Gravel to Sand!!!
Posted: Sun Apr 17, 2011 8:30 am
I am currently half-way through replacing my gravel with sand, and so far; I have found it more stressful than moving with an aquarium.
I have read plenty about how to do it but, in practice, it's a thousand times more difficult than I ever expected.
Gravel is so filthy!!! There is literally
I did one half yesterday with no issues and now I'm doing the other which has been a thousand times more dirty as all the gravel was under my rocks and wood so I never cleaned it.
The crap that's floating about in it now is disgusting. I can't see what I'm doing or anything!!! That loaches are jumping about all over the place, the sand won't run clear, I have no idea where the kuhli loaches have got too and 'm not sure my fluval pump is appreciating all the extra work!!
Is is normal to be this stressed an worried about your fish?
