I'm gonna be moving house in the next few weeks, any ideas in the best way to do it? I'm only moving along the road from where I am now, I have a freshwater tank?
put fish in a bucket, drain tank, keep media wet, move, fill up, get up to temp, put filter(s) on, acclimate fish, done. If it's a smallish tank, leaving the substrate in is pretty easy. If it's a larger tank, that can be difficult. I moved my 125 with about 3" of substrate... it was all me and my dad could do to move it.
I have successfully moved with no casualties!! I drained tank to a few inches and moved the tank with fish still inside!! I was only moving down the street so me and four friends carried it! Got everything set up quickly to the correct temperature and all is well, panic over!
