My Fluval Edge 6 gallon is looking horrible. Algae has literally taken over the whole tank and the gravel in contrast with the few plants I have in there looks ugly. It has been like this for over a year now and it has come to the point where I am sick of looking at it. It needs a rescape... urgently.
This is the first time I'm having to rescape a tank. I currently have a male betta in their on his own, the problem is, where do I put him? He can't stay in the tank as I need to completely change the gravel and give the tank a clean. Where should I put him for a few hours while I rescape the tank?
Secondly, what am I supposed to do with the filter which is built into the tank? I don't want to loose all of the bacteria whilst I am rescaping meaning that I will have to recycle the tank.
Any other things that I will need to know before I rescape?
Thanks.
