Changing From A Undergravel To Internal

[cloudburst]

Hi all. I'm looking into changing my undergravel filter to an internal cannister. Whats the best way of doing this without disturbing fish to much or setting up a new tank?

cant help regarding the best way m8 but i think it would be best if you run the internal filter along with the undergravel for a few weeks before you decide to change over , at least that way your giving the new filter a chance to build up bacteria..

Yeah, im gonna go ang get an internal filter and run it the same time. But would the water go really messy when i turn the undergravel off?
