Thanks Greg.
I knew I forgot to bait the traps with peanut butter as I ran out of peanut butter.

I'll still be sweating over the tank transfer until its done.
thanks for the push in the right direction.

Anytime my friend if I lived closer I would come lend a hand.

I know you probably already know this but when you do transfer tank & want to reuse the sand try not to disturb it to much before you get all the fishes out. Remove as much water as possible first to move to the new tank. Take your time, make sure you have everything & anything you will need before you start, you will all good.

NOW......go get some damn peanut butter

Best remedy for mice, get a cat.. i had a lot of issues with mice years ago, a cat was the solution. I didn't want poisons or traps in my house. We have been mice free for years now.

My dogs don't like cats due to when they were puppies the neighbors cat beat them up pretty bad. So cat is out.
I was planning on getting new sand as I hate fine sand! Such a pain.
I like the special grade stuff! I use it in all my tanks now.
I was also thinking I might reuse the sand but in the sump.

If you reuse any of your old sand rinse it really really well before adding it. To much gunk gets trapped in old sand and will cause issues if not rinsed out well before being transferred.
