Ok, I'm moving next weekend and dreading the thought of moving my aquariums, but it's gotta be done. My freshwater system I'm not worried about I've moved them before without any problems, they are pretty hardy and can handle it. But my SW tank is another story.
The plan...tommorow I will go to the new place and set up a temporary tank that will house my fish and inverts for approximately 2 months while my display tank is down. I plan on drilling my DT and installing overflows as well as building a whole new stand and canopy, pluss try and remove some of the small scratches is has caused from maintenance over the last 2 years.
I'm going to set up the temporary tank tommorow with a HOB filter that I've been using on my 20G QT. I know it's already got some good bacteria so it probably shouldn't take too long to cycle...pluss once we make the actual move next weekend then I will install the canister filter on it that I am currently using on my DT. I don't plan on changing the media or anything for now, infact I'm eaven going to leave the water that's in it...in it.
I figure I'll just have to keep a close eye on my peramiters and possibly do some frequent water changes if need be.
Does anybody have any advice that they can offer that could maybe help...or is there anything that I'm missing that I could be doing?
Thanks
