Hi All

Basically my mrs accidentally wiped out the 4 discus in my tank. Long story but she accidentally tipped an entire container of food in there and didn't want to tell me in case I got mad, now this was very late one night and I didn't notice until morning and the damage was done, changed about 150% of water in 2 days and still ammonia was around 3 and nitrites around 5, sadly the fish did not make it.

Now I have experience keeping discus, have kept them for around 5-6 years so now that my tank is empty I want to convert my tank to BB. Is it just a case of emptying the tank, removing gravel etc, rinsing and refilling? I want to keep my filter running as much as I can so I am thinking of buying a really large container to sit the inlet and outlet in while I clean the tank.

Is that pretty much it? Empty, clean, refill, re install filters and heaters and run/test until the water is right again?
