Re:advise in tank move!

[Lewie]

Hi
It’s been a while since I last had a set up! I have now taken plunge and committed/treated myself to a set up containing fish that I have always wanted to try! They are mawais
My quandary is!
Once I collect tank it’s a minimum of 4hrs before it will be re set up due to distance what would your top tips be? I m going to keep sand damp and rocks etc ,open filter,bag and polystyrene box fish
I ve got a bacteria tonic to boost once set up! Would it pay to transfer some water?if so how much it’s 400l tank I m concerned about starting tank on a complete water change apart from what fish are transported with etc!
Any other helpful tips and advise please

I wouldn't worry about trying to transport water. There's not much benefit. Just make sure you drip acclimatise the fish before they are released from their carrying bag, with a 4 hour move, there's a strong likelihood your water parameters will be noticeably different and it may take time for the fish to adjust.
