![]() While back moved a 75g across town, sure I lost some pods but when I looked the following night, tank was still crawling with them.
If a DSB, careful about disturbing the layering of the substrate. |

![]() If you have time (doubt it) set up a small tank as a fuge & load with some extra pods from your tank or the LFS. Then, after to move everything over, if it looks like there isn't enough food for the mandarin, release the pods.

![]() When I moved my tank last spring I lost most of my pods and eventually my manderine. I think the stress of moving made him stop eating because there were still enough pods in the tank after the move IMO.

![]() Mark, how can you be carefull about the layering of a DSB? There is no way to move it and keep the layers in-tact that I know of.
You also have to decide whether or not to clean out some or all of the substrate when making the move as well. |
