So I’m moving from my current house to my new house in 30 days. Any advice on how to move the tank without a total loss.
Here is my Plan let me know if you think this will work.
I’m setting a up a QT tank at my friends house 2 weeks before move out day. This will be a 25 gallon tank with a hang on back filter and a sponge filter/ air bubbler thing. I figure I can keep the fish here on move out date plus a couple extra days while the new tank sets up or if it has a mini cycle.
As for the move out process. Take all the live rock that has no coral and put into a brute can with no water just some wet towels to keep them alive while we move. (Heater or no heater ?)
Get another brute can and put the rocks that have corals in with water and a heater.
Bag all non glued coral.
Throw all the sand away.
Set up tank in a hurry and add new sand and all the non coral rock. Wait for it to clear up a bit and add the rest of the rocks
Add some quick cycle bacteria and use new water and maybe some old water ?
Throw in some extra carbon and hope that all the coral survive. Add the fish in a week later ?
Let me know if you see anything I missed it should do.
