Hi,
Some of you might have seen my old tank (here). Since I've gotten a lot of nice and positive feedback, I figured this would be the best place to ask my question.
It's a rather simple question; is it possible to move my ADA Amazonia from my running tank to a new tank?
Reason for this swap, my DIY cabinet soaked up some water and I'm worried about the structural strength so I'm gonna tear it down (again) and figure out if I want to build a new cabinet or just get rid of the entire tank. However, there are inhabitants in it right now (10 Tetra's, 8 Oto's and about 30 RCS), so I need to house those till I figure out what I'm going to do. I've still got my 30l nano tank and while it's not ideal size wise, I figured I would house everything in that tank for the time being.
My idea was to get a large bucket, fill it with the water, plants and inhabitants from the tank, heater and filter. When that's done, drain the current tank in some more buckets, move the ADA soil to the 30l tank, put back the old water, plants, filter and heater, move the inhabitants back and that's that. I'm a bit worried about the amonia in the ADA, my current tank is fully cycled, I know how ADA works. What I don't know however, is if it will leech again when its being swapped/moved...Any of you have experience with this? I do not want to risk losing any inhabitants, I care about them.
Thanks in advance!
