Relocating

[chadschuster0321]

Hi all,
 
So I recently found out I may be moving straight across the country from California to Texas. I'm most likely going to sell all of my aquariums here because they'll probably just break on the move, but I want to keep my fish and plants. Is there an easy way to move fish without stressing them out? Also, what should I do about the like of any cycled water once I arrive?

Do you know anybody in Texas who might have a cycled aquarium?

I don't, I planned on going tank hunting as soon as I got there. Maybe one of the fish stores will sell cycled water. I'm moving into the Houston area so theres plenty of stores.

Do bear in mind it is the filter material that is cycled and not the water.

So I could just put my old filter in and prime tap water?

Yes. I am sure someone who has moved tanks can explain how to preserve the filter as best during.

That's a topic started on how to move with a fish tank. This guy says his trip only 2.5 hrs, but your trip could be up to 2 days, so not all the info will be good in your case. But give it a read!
