Default Changing gravel

Whats the best way to change from gravel to sand in an exstablished aquarium with fish in it. just take everything out and start scooping out the gravel and dump sand or should i put all the fish in a bowl so they dont get to stressed out? or if anyone has a better idea i would love to get some advice on this.
thanks, Ryan

Default Re: Changing gravel

Take the fish out. Take all the wood, rock and other deorations out, but keep it all wet.
Remove gravel.
Add back POOL FILTER SAND, this clumps less and causes a lot less problems than most other sands.
Redocorate and then add back fish.
