Not once but twice.
We will be moving house in a month and unfortunately we only have 1 day to move everything and I doubt there will be time to move the tank that day, hired van and friends so cant work around a moving company.
My plan is to move the tank to a friends anytime prior to the move then move it again once we are settled anything from 1 week to 4 weeks later.
The distances are only 3-4 miles.
Tank to be moved is a planted Fluval Roma 90l with pressured Co2, substrate is ecocomplete and a selection of communtity fish, neons, rasboras etc plus 1 amano shrimp.
For instance I have a spare 2ft tank to use as a fish only holding tank and a spare heater and I intend to move the cannister filter to each tank in turn to retain the bacteria, would this be ok or would it be better to keep the fish open bagged and warm floating in the holding tank then move them straight to the moved re planted main tank (50% RO and 50% treated tap water) and for how long would the fish be ok?
I would like to clean the substrate, ok to do this in tap water and kill the bacteria or better to try and clean it in some clear removed tank water.
I have some thoughts on how to go about it but would appreciate any tips that would help it go with the min of problems.
Looking forward to setting the tank up again, rather not do it twice but the recent hot weather has messed up my Co2 and the tank is really suffering a BBA outbreak right now.
Thanks.
