Re: [GSAS-Member] Advice re moving fish tanks
Put the fish and other livestock in buckets. Don't feed for a day or two before
doing this. If you've got a lot of fish and the buckets are crowded (orange
home depot buckets with the lids work fine), put in some chunks of Polyfilter,
the one that removes ammonia.
If you can, have replacement water ready (or take some of it with you, though
moving water isn't fun)
Drain the tanks completely.
Move.
Fill tanks, get water to temperature the fish are used to. They'll survive fine
a couple days in buckets as long as they don't get too cold. Don't forget to
treat for chloramines.
Restore fish to tank
