I have just moved mine for the first time and WOW what a process. It really takes alot of time and patients. It has been a huge learning process. I agree with the rubbermaid process. I had mine in small buckets and that was a real pain.
I did move the fish in smaller buckets and this is not the best way to do it. It really stressd my fish. I lossed a couple. Everything else turned out well. I think next time I would get a smaller square rubbermaid and keep some rock, tank water, heater, and then put the fish in while i'm moving the rest of the tank. That way i don't think it would stress the fish to much. And would give me more time to set the tank back up without have to put the fish in while the tank is still a reck.
After the move it kicked up a ton of sediment, so i wanted to let that clear a bit before putting in the rock and fish. Its really hard to place rock when it cloudy. LOL. I had to move mine via a truck some 20 miles so leaving the fish in the tank i don't think would have been a good thing for me. The CC got tossed all over the place so i had to smooth it out again.
Jmo. Hope the move goes well.  |
