I was thinking about it but I don't want to lose all that beneficial bacteria that I've built up.

Well.... My mind changes direction like the wind lol, i have bought this substrate and should be here later this week.

I'm going to just bag up some of my sand with the bacteria and have it submerged in the new tank to help it along.

I also bought some larger lava rocks, i probably bought more stuff then i need for this tank but i don't want to keep the shrimp in a temp tank for long and really want everything ready and in front of me for a semi seamless change over :laugh:

Its a mixed bag of sizes, round 4KG? What ever i have left over i may fit into some of my other tanks.

If all goes bad i can just dose Biodigest as a quick option, it should remove anything nasty.

The tanks glass lid/top turned up today, weird how i had to buy it separate but oh well! The buckets i brought have to go back, my other half decided to store them next to where she sprays a lot of perfume :pff: :angry: and I don't really wish to risk it so I'm just going to swap them. Id be really upset if i managed to poison any of the tank with contaminates.

The Lavarock gravel came today and its not enough :sad: :ow: -sigh lol! I have to order another bag, i thought a 5KG bag would do it (around 11lbs) but no chance... ebay is calling again.

edit: For those interested heres a pretty cool calculator for substrate: http://www.howmanyfish.com/how-much-gravel.htm
