Reuse Substrate
Reuse Substrate
When I actually switch tanks can I save the old substrate once everyone is up and moved. Would be handy for spots that have sunk due to excessive tunneling which is what I have now, silly things have added hills and valleys.
I can hear my 75g whispering from the barn.

Yep, pretty much everyone does it. Would highly recommend doing so, its a great way to seed the new tank to smell like home and help colonize benefitual bacteria.

Re: Reuse Substrate
When I have moved tanks, I have just put the old sub into the new tank and added more to make it deep enough!

Re: Reuse Substrate
Thanks, right at the moment everyone is down, brats. I'm hoping they just went down to de-stress because I had the tank lid off to attach the monitor cage/box.
