Thinking of upgrading my Dads small tank to something bigger (and planted!). Would there be any issue with using the 'lovely' orange gravel substrate of the current setup as filter media in a new tank? 8)
Thought this was a stroke of good thinking as
1. I can get rid of the nasty orange gravel but still keep the benefits of reusing it as already seeded with bacteria.
2. I wouldn't have enough old media from the old filter to fill the bigger new one
was thinking of dry starting the actual tank too so it would be easy for a switchover.
Thanks,
Neil
