In the coming weeks I'd like to change from a gravel base to a soil and sand base, hopefully to give plants a better chance to survive and I'd like to ask for any help or advice on the simplest way to do it.
The tank is a Juwel Rio and it currently has a gravel base with a few bunches of Elodea and two fancy goldfish. During the change, I can move the fish to a smaller tank. What I'd like help with is do I drain the tank and save the water to put back in the tank for a couple of days and then do my normal 50% water change or do I refill with new?
I've got plenty of containers for the water if I need them.
