hey fishdude,
I have moved my 55 gal. twice in the past four years, so I have some
experience.(I did not lose any livestock in either moves).first of all,what
kind of tank is it?and how big?second what is the total distance your moving?
the most important thing is to carefully plan and map out everything you
will need to do before you move,and do a test run to make sure you do not
forget anything-time is precious when moving your livestock.when I moved
my tank,I got 5 five gallon buckets, filled them with tank water and livestock,
and also put my filter media in a seperate one.secondly,I emptied the rest
of the tank,leaving just enough to keep the substrate submerged.then, when
I got to the new house,I immediately began unpacking all equipment,filled
the tank with the tank water in the buckets,added the livestock,media and
filters,then I began filling the rest of the tank with newly mixed water.so
plan on doing a 40-50% water change when you arrive.
hope this gives you some ideas.
