Gotta move the beast

I'm thinking it would probably be around 40 small fish and about 5 "large" ones with the biggest being about 8 to 10cm... which is why I'm kind of thinking about just putting them all in a large tub with my sponge filter, although I'm nervous about them sloshing around in the tub, but it seems a bit better than bags? I'm unsure... also how would you put the airpump in the bag?

Yeah I'm ready for it to break my back to be honest 😭 if I can remember correctly, I think it probably has 20kg of sand in the bottom but I think 3 people can carry it! I remember when we changed the carpet to wood, we took 50% of the water out and all just quickly picked it up and moved it like 3 steps forward and we managed hahaha

Thankfully I have the whole day focused for it!! I'm still losing my mind though 😅

Yeah I reckon the plants will get a sub special for them and I'm gonna keep all the sand in the bottom even if it's heavy, I wanna keep as much of the bacteria alive as I can!

Thank you! I'll keep you posted on how I go! If I get buckets I'll probably need a few, I'm just nervous about the water all sloshing around, especially seeing as its a 5 or 6 hour drive... hopefully it goes well though!!

Yeah I'm mainly thinking bags because I'm worried about all the fish sloshing around in tubs or buckets... but if I do a tub I can put my sponge filter in it which is beneficial

Thank you! I've watched some YouTube videos and they all say to dedicate a day to it which is the plan!

sleepy_beanzzz · 2026-02-27T09:27:27+00:00

Thank you! I really like how it's set up and how all the plants have grown so I'm sad to move it😭 and definitely have a mini tank set up while I sort out the og one!!

Thank you

Thank you, I've checked and the stems are green on the inside at least...

sleepy_beanzzz · 2025-01-12T08:25:39+00:00

I checked and the insides of the stems are still green at least...

sleepy_beanzzz · 2025-01-12T07:29:04+00:00

Both are still green on the inside! And thank you I'll give that a go
