Easier the better! Store fish in a bucket of tank water with the filter/heater in with them.

Empty the tank, remove the gravel, rince the sand VERY well to keep cloudyness down, add sand, add water, add fish, heater and filter and your good to go

Visa versa, what ever why your doing it. Sand > Gravel or Gravel > Sand

because the sand makes the tank look faded yellow. the blue gravel will transform it.

If you really want to swap it's quite easy as you can syphon the sand out. tip the gravel in carefully, once it's been well washed. Why would you want to though? What fish have you got?
