My 75RR


Well everyone as of 11:30 July 3rd I now fully BB. I have been slowly taking my sand out for the last few weeks and today I removed all the rocks and took the sand out. I reaquascapped ;like 20 times but gave up and did the best I could. Now just need to sit back and wait for it to clear up. I will post some pics next week.

I started it at 6:30pm last night and I finshed about 2:00am this morning. I am glad I finally made the change. When the tank settles I will post a pic

Nice, was that all the rock that you had in your tank when it had sand in it? I found that after I went bb I couldn't stand all the rock I had and only ended up putting about 1/5 of it back in.

I agree, no such thing as a 30 minute change, it always becomes hours of fiddeling around.
