Hey tell me if I am going about this okay. I am moving about an hour away. I have a 45 and 55gal planted tanks http://www.myfishtank.net/forum/showthread.php?threadid=8107
This is what I had in mind. Day 1. I have a 20 two 10's and a 5gal tanks and am going to take them up first (they are empty) set them up with water and get temp right. Day 2. Come back and pull the plants out of my big tanks to help catching fish easier and store them in a big cooler with water. Catch all my fish store them in 1gal freezer bags and keep them in coolers. Take them to the new place and put them in tanks. I am not concern about cycling because the fish want be in them but for a day. Day 3 Pull the big tanks down remove sand and store it moist in rubbermaid totes. Take tanks to new place fill and condition. New water source is well water so I am hoping for the best. Once temps are good start transferring fish over. Then replant. Any advice would be great.
