Greetings all. I 've got a 6 week old 30 gal tank. FOWLR My sand bed is about an inch deep. Two Percs swimming around. Water perimeters are all excellent. I had some Carebsea sand from an old tank that I used to save some $. Now I don't care. I want that Figi pink stuff. I've switched out sand before in my freshwater tanks without a problem. Should I wait a while longer before the swap? And when I do swap should I use the dry or get the live sand?

better to do it now IMO.. Slowly take out a certain percent (10-15%) each day and then add dry sand..
