	Moving
FishKeeperJim Big Fish Member MTS Anonymous Posts: 348 Kudos: 208 Votes: 186 Registered: 09-Jan-2007	I am in the process of moving, and I was wondering if you guys have any ideas to help the transfer. I purchased a second 10 gallon tank, with a box filter, I am going to set it up before I move the main aquarium. So the water has a chance to age a little, Going to add biozyme, start right, ammonia clear, and PH 7.0 tabs. then after a few days I am going to have to put all of my fish in untill the main tank is set up. Any other ideas? mts.gif" border="0"> I vote do you? My Tanks at Photobucket

This will allow it to build-up a good culture of bacteria. Also if you can transfer some of the gravel from your main tank into this temporary tank it will help to seed it and hopefully you can avoid a mini-cycle.

The filter I have is one of the old school air pump driven plastic box filters. Thanks for your help. mts.gif" border="0"> I vote do you? My Tanks at Photobucket
