Ok so - I have a question. I want to add an additional 5 bags of eco-complete substrate to my currently up and running 125 gallon tank. If i heard all the fish over to one side and block them in w/ a piece of glass - would i be ok to add the substrate with the fish still in the tank or do i need to take the fish out, add the substrate, let it settle, add the plants/wood then put the fish back in? I want to do what is less stressful for them, but I am a litttle worried about the particles that will be floating around until things settle, and then having my hands in there moving plants and wood around until i get things the way i like them...

Thanks
Em
