in the end all the detrtious should be minimal then cut off all the flow in your new tank, bag the sand in plastic bags drop it in the tank and gingerly pour them out causing minimal disturbance, alternatively poke a hole in the bottom of the bag and use the bag like a pastry chef piping a cake with icing TA DAH!!  |
Good ideas. Thanks Chris.
I think the only reason I am worried is because with my last tank move, I didn't really rinse the sand and just added it back to the new tank...didn't go so well. I think the sand really messed the tank up. I just want to be sure this time.
