If your gravel has some good mulm in it, then you might be OK with regular gravel. However, I would change the substrate.

I did a 100% substrate change on my tank a while ago. I already had a...

The material on the biowheel should contain more than enough bacteria. A few weeks ago I changed from an Eclipse 2 to an Eheim 2026. I scrapped the whole Eclipse filter including the pad. I pulled...

You should be OK. If your pads are like the Eclipse pads I'm used to seeing, and I'm pretty sure they are, you might want to cut out the carbon completely... Not becuase of leeching issues, but just...

Your eyes will adjust. I switched from ~5500K to 6700K and then readded the 5500K in addition to the 6700K.. When the 5500K lights come on (after the 6700K) they give a gross yellow tone.. but it's...
