Tank Move Around

[Alasse]

OK, so today i decided i needed some tank to swap places and fish to move, why oh why does it sound soooo simple til you start *L* I still have 3 tanks to move and have been going for many hours already.....

Soooo the 3ft (guppies & apple snails) has been fully emptied, sand substrate removed, black gravel in, its moving to where my 3 tiered stand is and will be holding my goldies when finished

The 3 tiered stand holds a 2.5ft (pond snails) and 2x 2ft's (BN trio & guppy fry). I want to move it to where my 3ft tank is sitting.

I've setup my new 3.5ft that is under my 4ft, the BN trio will be moving into here, just waiting for it to warm up, once it right the BN will move in. Their tank will be emptied and taken off the stand. The 2ft golding guppy fry has already been emptied. The 2.5ft will then be emptied and pond snail held in a bucket for a bit.

The big swap will happen and then the resetting of tank

The 2.5ft will be housing the apple snails, the 2x 2fts will be holding guppies (male tank and a female tank)

The 2.5ft that is the goldies temp home will be fully cleaned ready to go salty at some stage.

See sounds simple *LOL*

Everything is moved. The goldie tank is set back up and goldies are in. The rest will have to wait as i cannot move another bucket of water. All fish and snails waiting for tanks are in temp quarters til i finish tomorrow
