Since my tank is only 2 1/2 months old , and I had been grossly mis-informed by the LFS that sold me my set up . I was thinking about a way to easily change over to a DSB. Do you think it would work if I took out some of the CC leaving just about an inch on the bottom and did about two inches of sand over top of that. I would also take a few weeks to make the total change and of course keep the "removed" CC in the system for a little wile (probably in the wet/dry)
Also I figure I have to rinse the sand first. So would it create less of a "cloud" if I carefully hand loaded it in wet?
 
I don't know about leaving the an inchof c.c. on the bottom of the live sand. I wouldn't rinse the sand though you want that cloud because it will give you lots of fine grain sand to grow bacteria in.
