So to help be able to vacume my gravel and do maintiance on my tank I moved it onto a desk today. Did I do everything right? I always hear horror stories of people vacuming their gravel after not doing it for a long time and their fish getting ill.
First I moved my fish and their filters into a giant plastic storage container with tank water. Brand new but I scrubbed it down with water and a cloth first. Then we moved the tank onto the desk. I was so scared the glass bottom was going to crack
Then I vacumed 1/4 of the gravel and now I've put the fish and the filters back in with about 7gallons of water back from the tub and the old tank water that was left then 10 fresh gallons of water that I'm warming to the correct tempurature now. Did I miss anything super important? I dont want them getting sick.
