It would be slightly tough on the system when you swap the gravel. What plants are you planning to add? Might not be a good idea with goldfish. I actually prefer bare bottom tank for goldfish. I did have plants in my betta tank, plants help by consuming some ammonia, nitrite and nitrates.
About mate being happy or not, no one can hate my boy.

You guys are a hoot! Yeah that boy is quite handsome! Snippy aimed at me, never at the fish. Lol
I'd be adding just enough black sand to hold down plant; not pulling up old substrate. I've got 3-5 Ludwig arculata (?) plants. Bare bottom would've been okay, but this was originally set up with gravel. Goldfish seem to like it.
Just want a small amount of sand & a couple of small coral pieces. ( I know I'm obsessed now. I saw a 10 G kit for $32 @ Wal-Mart & thought it would be good for small fish hospital/quarantine tank & bought it.) Hmm maybe that's SO's problem: I've spent money!
Would my rings from first tank be good to start it & 20 long? (I've got so much to do.) Is bare bottom okay for h/a tank?
Well, off for now to do Wal-Mart grocery delivery. Hope you're all well.

?Good morning all! I think I'm in cycle! NH3/NH4 is slowly declining (less than 1.0ppm) but.. NO3 is still too high (still 30-40ppm)between water changes. PH is still a bit low (6.5-6.7) so I put in a 5" piece of coral. (if it remains low should I get more coral?) nitrite is 0
I think ammonia/nitrate may be due to goldfish (who are fabulous by the way; I took some pics. They've @ least tripled in size.) trying 30% PWC each time; have done every other day, but not scouring gravel.
Also had my "brown algae" bloom & cleaned decor stuff. Now I have a goldfish question: I think the little guy/gal in my pics is a comet, but is completely different color from my others. It came to me this color: I've called it platinum. Is it gold? Can y'all help; just want to know. (I know tank's cloudy & needs PWC!)
Hope all you & yours are doing well. Found out a family friend & wife have COVID 19; keep the prayers coming. Love & respect from Bama & the Fishy Five

Hi everyone!
Poll: If bad overhead light, do y'all use led hood light while doing PWC & gravel clean?
Let me know Y or N IYHO.
