moving........ -_-

[Nano]

So.. were moving. Boo. Anyway, I have my tanks plumbing completely sealed so the only way to dismantle it is to break it down and replumb. So since that's the case I have a 29 gallon I can set up temporarily with a cheap hob filter and all the livestock/live rock, should I still keep as much water as I can? Tank would be shut down a day or two so I feel safer using a temporary tank for now. Is this feasible?

When I moved I put all my coral and fish into a 29g temporary tank as well. I used a HOB filter as well as HOB skimmer that I had laying around. For the new tank I used all new water brought to the same levels as my old water and had no problems.

I thought of mixing up 60g of new water but I think I may try to just save 20-40g from my tank in some buckets. Anyone got any buckets like a bunch :P

The problem normally lays in stirring up the sand and any thing left in your live rock. That might cause a mini cycle that's why new water is good.
Make sure you put your fish and corals (depending on your corals) in a separate holding area.
Good luck with the move.

Lucky I have no sand bed thanks though, I'm going to need some new water, but will try to keep some as well

I can lend you a 65 gallon tank if you want...I am in wetaskiwin
that should hold enough water for you
