Finally Changed From Gravel To Sand!

[Kelly-Jo]

Me and the boyfriend finally managed to change my tank over from gravel to sand today. It took 3 hours in total but having read through a few guides on here, it wasn't too difficult. I will put some before and after photos up tomorrow so hopefully you can see the difference and tell me your thoughts on it. It definitely looks so much better and I'm going to have some happy corys

They seem so much happier already, next step is to bring their numbers back up to a group of 6

Nice looking tank you have there. I to changed from gravel to sand in both my tanks and have never looked back. It's much better and i find it a lot easier to clean. Also like everyone has said, your corys will love it

 

[Kelly-Jo]

thanks, in the gap between the plants i will be adding small pieces of slate from the front to the back in a slight curve to make a river effect
