Changing out substrate

[Gwlson7]

I’ve been thinking about switching out the gravel in my 5 gallon to fluval stratum, but how would I go about doing that without disrupting my shrimp, fish and my plants? I don’t have a backup tank to put everyone in.

IMO, you should net out all the fishes and put them in tubs for the time being. This is because fluval stratum will making your tank super cloudy even after rinsing the substrate several times
