Bit Of Advice Needed Please?

I'm changing my old 120 rekord for a 120 lido as the size proportion is better. I have to empty out one tank and set up the other so the fish are going to be in a large bucket for some time. I'm going to be running the filter and the heater in this bucket so how long do you think will be the maximum time I can keep them in there. I think the buckets holds about 40-50 litres.

Are all the fish in the same bucket??

yeah they've been there before when i had to change out sand and coped well but this is gonna take a bit longer I think

 

[Matty P]

How long do you think it will take to complete the change over??

 

[babybell911]

couple of hours maybe I gotta get all sand out and clean tank then set other tank up with sand water move everything around so it's all set up in the right place

I would think that would be ok, beacuse you've got the filter and heater in the bucket with them.

 

[babybell911]

I'd hoped that but though I'd double check first

Everyone survived almost 4 hours in the bucket bless them all swimming round happily when I checked them this morning.
