just changed

just switched from gravel to sand. took aaaallll day saturday, way harder than we expected. it looks so much better now though, and I think the fish like it better too. the cories like to sift through it. now i have to go get a airstone that sticks to the wall, the one i tried to bury is now at the bottom of a big hole, it blows all the sand away from it

That's great! I'm sure the cories love you even more for it! Pics or video would be cool, especially if you could do before and after like Shawnie said.

Well, the good news is it gets easier (and takes less time) each time you do it, so by the fourth or fifth time it should only take a couple hours
