Hi all
So finally after many threads on here and plenty of awesome help from many of you (much appreciated) I mustered the courage to change from gravel to sand, routine for some, but very daunting for me. I got loads of excellent advice on here.
So I now have gone from an unloved tank, and thanks to this site a tank which I ma very proud of.
The water is still a little hazed, hopefully this will settle. I cant believe how quiet the ex1200 is. Havent had to modify it at all, which I was worried about as other said it would be too big for a 125. So far (touch wood) no casualties although the blue gourami is not looking too good, saying that he looked worse before the change.
Really sorry about the quality of pics, will get some more up soon:
Before
After
The sand need a good vac tomorrow which will be done.
Also can anyone tell me how long to leave the ex1200 before its first clean out???
Thanks for all your advice so far, i am so chuffed with my tank now and wouldnt hsvit if it wasnt for this site.
