JessicaandMarshall 2 Posted January 9, 2005 I have a light coating of gravel in one of my tanks, mixed with glass beads. I would like to take the gravel out, but I don't want to mess up my water parameters. I remember reading a great post about how much gravel you should remove at a time, it was by Koko, I believe, but it was a long time ago, maybe a year ago, so I don't remember exactly how to do it, and I can't find the post I am looking for. I remember thinking it would take forever to get all the gravel out heehee. So what do you suppose a safe amount would be? I don't have a whole lot in there to begin with. I used to think bare bottom was ugly (no offense anyone) but now I actually like the look, and I think my gravel is ugly I am not sure if I will leave the glass beads (I will at first to see how they look lightly scattered, I don't want them deep) and if that looks gross, then I'm going to use river rocks. Thanks! Jessica 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pm94 0 Posted January 9, 2005 I've always said take 1/4 out per week. Since you don't have a thick layer, you might be able to do 1/2 per week. You could put the gravel in little baggies and remove one now and then, but have your bare bottom (hehe) look at the same time. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
