adding more gravel

jimcalpin

first off my betta died on wednesday, not sure why yet.
ok now my question, i was thinking of adding more gravel to my tank so i could do some really cool aquascaping i have in my head, but i remember reading once that you're not supposed to add new gravel to an established tank.
so is this true and why?

Your adding gravel, I'm taking out gravel lol

I havent read anything about not adding new gravel, I wonder why not?

edit: i googled adding new gravel to old, cant find any place that says not to. My only thought is, if too much is added, it might throw off the bio load.

Id just make sure you wash it out really well!
