Fish Crazy
I’m moving home next week and my main plan is this;
1) Sunday - move fish and enough gravel and water (and familiar things) to spare heated 25 gallon tank at my parents night before (should be ok as most are juvenilles and my 50 gallon tank is way understocked at the mo anyway) - move internal filter from main tank to this small tank. Probably use a big black dustbin for moving everything 5 minutes down the road.
2) Monday - Move tank on day of move - keep fluval 304 filter and gravel wet, keep 10 gallons or so of the rest of the water (although take out of tank for the actual move. Once moved get internal filter and heater going again
3) Tuesday - Next day add water, fish and remainder of gravel as well as fluval 304 and heater back to main tank.
So fish will be in a smaller tank for two nights.
Will the bacteria in my Fluval 304 be ok if I keep water in it but it is turned off for two nights (so there will be no water circulating through)???
One of my friends has suggested that I don’t even need to set a filter up as they’ll only be in the tank two nights. Anyone agree/disagree??
Thanks
