..yes i no but how ? i dnt wanna stress him. can any one recommend a easy way to remove sand without taking out to much water ? i have a 1inch hose that u use for water changes that i was using but it drains the tank like a mutha. also dnt wanna suck it up in the fx5 or the 405. thnx
Get a rubber garbage can (new one) ans siphon the sand into it. Let the sand settle and bucket the aquarium water back into the tank. That's what i've used when I removed the sand from my tanks. Not as stressful on the ray as trying to scoop it out.
For the first week after taking the sand out cut back on your feeding as you will have taken out a lot of bacteria. people often forget this and end up with a bit of a mini cycle happening.

You can also use a smaller diameter hose to siphon the sand out. When I changed sands, I added the new sand a little at a time. Even though you will rinse the new sand well, the tank will still be somewhat cloudy.
Anything will be a little stress bit less than him or her getting all cut up.

u could use a dust pan and push all the sand to one edge, and then scoop out with a net. Also replace glass canopy with plexie glass
