Moving Tank Question

Help Support Reef Aquarium & Tank Building Forum:

it is a lot of work but really is pretty simple. first you want to get large containers (coolers work great) with accurate heaters and small power heads you want to drain enough water out of the tank into these bins to support all the rock/livestock then the rest of the water (not the last/dirty water) but the last of the clean water you want to keep and move with the tank, you will need to have probably 75+ gallons of new water made up for the 110 by the time you waste a lot of the old water. so when you move all the equipment you then need to fill it with all the cycled water and then top it off with the new water. let it run for atleast 12 hrs and stabalize the temp ph and salinity. so once you have achieved this then you are ready to go back to your old place and get your livestock take your time acclimating fish and keep in mind as you add rock you will need to lower the water level as the rock will displace the water level causing it to rise..

It realy is easy just a lot of hard work..
let me know if you need any more advice, I have moved mine several times so I have come accross many of the problems you may come across..
