Silly sand issue

spbk84 · 01/22/2012, 03:09 PM

Hello guys. Ive had my 92 gallon bow going for a few months now. When I initially poured the sand in it was mostly to the front and I leveled some and let it be.I really want to move it now because its a large slope and i don't like the look. Im scared to move the sand bed an stir gunk up. Do you think i should leave be or am i ok trying to move? If its on any advice on moving while making the least mess of it

If you don't plan on taking anything out of the tank maybe just move small amounts eery day for the next month or so?? Kind of a pain, but maybe less so than breaking down the tank.

How deep is it? If its shallow, and only a few months, you could probably move it without too much worry. It'll be a bit cloudy for a few hours. If its full of gunk, then all bets are off. Stick something in the sand and stir up a very small portion to get an idea of how bad it is.
