JTF Enthusiast Posts: 245 Registered: 16-May-2004  | As long as the filter is kept in the aquarium water, 10 miles should be fine. http://de.essortment.com/aquariumhowto_rkog.htm [span class="edited"][Edited by JTF 2004-07-17 20:11][/span] |

Fallout        Moderator Communications Specialist Posts: 6416 Kudos: 4053 Votes: 742 Registered: 29-Jul-2000 | yes, definately keep the gravel as well as the filter media in aquarium water. Try not to let it sit stagnant for more than an hour. Be extra careful to keep the tank level when moving it as well. Any side to side twisting stress can cause a leak. |
