I'm assuming you're buying this from someone breaking down their tank? How long are you planning to keep them in the tupperware and why?

 

[fish1031]

yes i am getting from someone moving away... the reason is because I am moving my reef tank downstairs and do not want to add all of this right before I move it.

 

[yosemite sam]

How big of a tank do you have? That is a lot of fish. How big are they? Unless they're all tiny, I wouldn't keep them in a tupperware very long.

 

[fish1031]

i have a 180g and the fish are medium sized they are coming out of a 110

 

[yosemite sam]

So how long are you planning on keeping the fish in the tupperware?

and how big is the tupperware?

 

[fish1031]

i'm not so sure i need to get in touch with the guy to see how long he can hold... as least amount of time as possible

 

[yosemite sam]

The other issue is, how long were you going to wait to add them once you moved? That's a lot of fish to introduce to a recently moved tank. Moving can stir up a lot of junk, and can sometimes cause a small cycle. At the least, it can unstabilize the tank a bit.

 

[fish1031]

that is very true... that is why i came for advice... i guess i can just not get the fish if it will ruin my tank

 

[yosemite sam]

Well, you can get the stuff, but I would wait awhile before trying to move the tank. How quickly do you need to move it?

 

[fish1031]

There is no rush on moving my tank downstairs really but I want to do it as soon as i can. The fish cannot be held very long so if I moved it now and got them now I could leave them in the bin for say 3 weeks and then move slowly.
