Can you change the gravel that you have in your aquarium fully for another type of gravel without hurting your plants or fish?? I want to change my gravel to the laterite stuff (I think that's what it's called) My plants don't seem to like the gravel I have right now...
 
It's called tearing down the tank and starting all over. I just did this with a 46g tank and it will take all day and some. If you want to know how to do it let me know.

From what I've read from others you have to change the gravel small amounts at a time like 1/5 of the gravel and put a divider in then leave it for the bacteria to build up then anothe 1/5.
 
Thanks for the replies...sounds too complicated and time consuming for me...thanks anyway though!!
