switching substrates on up and running tank

[Tom@HaslettMI]

That's a good plan and write up John.

Currently I'm contemplating removing my 15 year old sand bed and either going bare bottom or replacing the sand. My plan is a little different. I'm going to suck as much out as I can during water changes. It will take awhile but it will allow me to (hopefully) keep my rockscape as is. Either way should work, and there are probably other methods too.
