Hello all. I currently have a gravel substrate in my 55g. I have a small group of kuhli loaches and would like to change over to sand. I read that if washed properly I can use pool sand or play sand from lowes. Is this true? I haven't changed my filter in a while because I knew I would be making the switch so hopefully my tank won't cycle. I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this since I have baby guppies and also there are hundreds of pond snails in my tank. Suggestions please.
