So I've got a 25 gallon tank that i'm bringing with me on a smaller move. The drive between locations takes about a half hour.
I think I've come up with a basic process: set up a temporary rubber bin set up (would be 3-4 hours max that my fish and any coral are in it), move most tank water into my 5 gallon bins to transfer. Move rest of water and sand into another rubber bin; transfer water and sand with empty fish tank to new location first and then assemble.
Come back, move fish all at once.
sooo... this leaves me with some questions. lol.
1. would they need a filter set up in the rubber bins? What would be a cheap version to use if so?
2. same with heater --- but i'm nervous about leaving a heater if there's no circulation in the buckets?
3. any tips, comments, notes to make this process easier?
Thanks!
