jhOU08 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I am changing my inert substrate (blasting sand) to fluval plant and shrimp stratum. What's the best way to change substrate in an established tank? Does fluval stratum leach ammonia? I may end up getting another 10 gal since petco $1 per gallon is going on now. So I could cycle the substrate in the new tank, then just move everything into the new tank? Thoughts? Current setup: 10 gal RO/DI tap mix crystal red shrimp Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 For $10, I would definitely just buy a new tank and set up the FSS in it. I've heard the new FSS does leech ammonia but I don't have any experience with it myself, I am an ADA guy. ctaylor3737 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
