Will changing substrate hurt aquarium parameters?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
If you had been a regular with your cleaning of your substrate, and have more bio media than is required by your tanks conditions, then NO changing substrate should not have any noticeable effect on your water parameters.

If you were not regular with substrate cleaning, have insufficient / inefficient bio filtration, then potentially YES, you could have water parameter issues.
 
Thanks everyone, but I have decided to stay with the natural color substrate I currently have. For two reasons, one I like the look of it and two, its too much work...lol
