Aquarium Advice Addict
hey all of AA, i need your help!
my fiance and i are moving in about a year, and moving into in an apartment will require sizing down for us, though she only has 2 tanks, i have 6 p) and we won't have the room for all of them, so we've decided on bringing 1 tank each, her biorb life 8G, and my biocube 14. i know it's preemptive but id rather be ready early and know what to do to make as few trips as possible (1 preferably lol) since our area we're looking at is an hour and a half away
her tank will be easier to work with since its only freshwater, but my tank, also being my first endeavor into saltwater, i'm in the dark about this =/
my idea was to drain half the water into a 5G bucket and putting my two clowns, firefish, and CUC with my one coral frag into it, then putting my LR in a plastic bag with a bit of water to keep it moist, and leave about a 1/4" of water in the tank about the sand and transport the tank with that, obviously bringing the rest of my water in another bucket, here are some of my concerns:
will my fish and CUC live? what do i do with the lid on the bucket?
will i need to re-cycle my tank?
how long will my fun extra life on my LR live out of water?
IS MY IDEA GOOD?!?!?! idk what to do!
please help!
