Moving... any tips
Hello everyone
I am going to be moving from NY to CA and I was wondering if you guys could share some advice on how to go about moving my planted tank. As it stands, it looks like I will be getting the freight forwarding company to load and unload. I will be doing the packing. Any ideas on how to get my plants, fish and gravel there? I was thinking of setting up a temporary 10gal tank there and then have the fish and plants sent on Fedex overnight. My concern would be that the temperature here is running around 2-8F (without wind chill). Just in case... its a 72 gal bow front bout 300lbs of gravel 3 dozen or so cardinals 2 clown loaches 4 SAE Thanks in advance. Keng |

You can use heat packs to keep the heat up while the fish are being shipped. Strong cardboard boxes, plastic bags with air and water in for the fish, and use packing material to make sure the bags don't move around much. Research this and maybe get specialist advice from an online fish seller. Shipping plants is easy though, just stick them in poly bags with a small amount of water. Fish are much harder to ship than plants. Marcus |
