Hello..
Just want to see if im on the right track so far..
Tomorrow i'll be moving my uncles salt water tank over to my house. The drive will be about 20 mins 1 way. So drive isn't far at all. 15 minutes if traffic is light.
Stuff I have right now for move. 2 30 gallon tubs w/ lid. 1 tub for rocks. Uncle bought brand new live rock a month ago or so. Tank has been up and running for over a year or more at his house. He has a lot of live rock. I'm guessing 50+ lbs. Enough where it stacks up all the way in the middle kind off. The tank looks like the ones where its tall.
As for the fish, he only has 2 at the moment.
How much more salt water should I go get at the store? I'm sure i'll lose some in the process of moving but i'll try to save as much. If I can't keep the rocks submerged how else can I keep them wet or how long can they usually stay out of water. My drive won't be long. Maybe I can keep them in the tub along with the water??
Once I get home, should i fill the tank back first with saltwater and then put in all the live rock with the filter running?
Oh.. im leaving the live sand in the tank with just enough water to cover the bottom.
I just want this to be a smooth move.
this will be another addition to the other 60 gallon in my living room. good thing having 2 living rooms. 1 to just use as a aquarium room.
thanks.
