Need some Advice

How hard is it to switch to sand. I have live coral as my bed in my tank. Witch one is better sand or live coral.

I am moving in like 3 week how hard is it to move the tank.

Do you mean crushed coral substrate?

Yes sorry

Live Sand, is better in the aspect that it doesn't trap debre in it like CC does. Its a lil task to change it out, you usually run into a cycle by disturbing the suibstrate that much. But I would suggest running a canister filter while your doing the change over, this will catch alot of the crap you don't want left in your tank.

Sand bed is easy to remove and completely optional in the first place.

Siphon it out in sections over the course of 4-5 water changes. Taking your time will allow the live rock to smoothly take up the function the sand was filling.

If it waits till the move just don't take the old send bed to the new tank/location.
