![]() actually i think sand is like the angel of death. It looks so nice but it hides so much of the evils within

![]() Haha, Tony... no where near the 2 mark for me
![]() Chin, thanks for your tips and suggestions.. the tank is 20g so removing all of it shouldn't be too hard at all. My main problem is that the tube siphons so fast that it drains out my water so quickly... so it makes it quite a PITA to do.. I will do it all in one shot.. I have plenty of carbon to run and I always skim heavy in my tank. I am either going to empty it tonight or tomorrow, so I'll post before and after shots and what not... Thanks again all... ![]()

![]() IMO, the tank tank being just 20 gal.... I would just find another 20 gal and swap everthing but the sand.

![]() I'd do what Quagmire suggested. That way if there is any problem of toxins released from the sandbed, it all goes out with the old water and you won't need extra skimming or carbon.

![]() Yeah.. that makes the most sense I guess.. just make up some SW and change everything out.

![]() When I removed my SB from a 20gal tank, I removed as much water as I could first, as well as everything else except the sand. All I was left with was the sand and about 1/2 inch of water... took it outside.. tipped the tank and slopped it into buckets.. washed it out.. put everything into the new 50 gal tank. Put in the old water and topped up with new water.. worked like a charm. No deaths and everyone was happy.
