Moving!

[bmxweeman]

hey. after being terrorised for months by a bunch of hoodlems in the street me and the rest of my family have decided to move, we are moving a couple of miles away...

i was wondering what the best way to get the tank and fish to the new house safely and without killing the fish?

hi. your best bet would be to get hold of some food grade containers to put your tank water in for transportation. secondly nip down to your local aquatic store and ask them if they have any polystyrene fish box's,also some fish bags to bag em up. i got my containers from a camping shop and the fish box's i picked up only cost me pence so its worth asking. hope that helps.

how big is your tank ? can it fit in the boot of a car ?

 

[bmxweeman]

its a 75l tank and ive got a works van so that wont be a problem. id never thought of a food storer type thing good shout!

yea that'll fit in your van no probs then. have you got to go far ?

 

[bmxweeman]

not too far, around 10-15 minutes by car away.

Hey BMXWeeMan,

Sorry to hear you're getting terrorised by neds, mate.

Where you moving to? I'm not so far away myself. In fact, my Mrs is from Gilmerton (she doesn't stay there now though).

thats ok then. just be careful putting your fish in the tank at your new place. might be a good idea to to put a general tonic in there to calm the fish in case they get stressed.
