tank move

[northpaul]

moving house soon what is the best way of moving my fish could be a good reason for a second tank but am limited in space any ideas

how big is the tank and how far are you mocing??

If it is a rather smaller tank with smaller fish and you're not moving too far, just buy a big bucket and put in your fish and heater
if your filter is a HOB, than let the filter run in that bucket.

Afterwards, empty out the tank completely and move it. Setup the tank in your new place and when the temp is good, reinstall the filter and then bag your fish and adapt them as you adapt new fish...

if you are moving further, bag your fish and your filter media and put them in a cooler. If the drive's only a couple of hours, they'll be fine.

If you have big fish and a huge tank, then you might wanna make other arrangements
