What to do with my fish tanks.

[mac]

Hey guys,

Well I am looking to move from home in a few months. Yup move away.

So all my tanks. 100g 83g 66g 50g 30g 30g 15g 5g will need to be thought about.
I don't know what to do really. I not selling or getting rid of them. Might just break them down, and place in storage. And keep a few running.

Out of the few running I am thinking of keeping the 50g and 83 and may be a 30g.

What I am sorting out now is getting a Milking job again and get some fast cash for a 6 ish month period. Pay the car off and get some money for a nicer size rental home. So I may be able to keep.

Due to the size of some of the tank, and the largest are 100 and 83 are on one stand. And I not sure how to get the shifted. And more so up to 200 plus KMs?

Any thoughts?

"Very carefully" is the best advice I can give for dealing with them all! :lol:

Very good point.

When I moved I sold off my larger tanks as I didn't want the hassle of dealing with them. I know storage spaces are expensive so if it's more than a couple of months they'd be in there it might not be worth keeping them. Just sell and then get new ones at a later time.

Storage I forgot to say at my folks place in a shed.

As for breaking down the large ones I think it would make it easy. I just want to keep the plants. So HMM, have to keep one tank going for that.

What I am thinking is take the 100g apart. And keep the 50 and 83 in set up.

Then move them. Once they are on bring the 15g. Then add the 100g latter on down the track. As for the 2 30g just keep them in storage at my folks place.
And up grade them to a 150++g tank.

Who knows. Just wanting ideas to what to do, and how to shift them.

If you do keep a few tanks going, I'd probably hold onto your favorite fish and plants. The rest of the tanks I would empty and clean properly. The substrate you can probably hold onto, depending on what it is. The filters/canisters, empty and clean them. You don't want the crud to set into the tanks/filters, then months later spend a few hours trying to clean them.

Something I hate doing. Cleaning up dirtying filters, which have been left that way for months.

Were it me, I'd keep the 100 going as a "main" tank, the 60 so you can have "another tank" and one of the smallers ones that can be set-up quick in case you need a hospital tank.

Then send the rest to me!! :18:

Hey guys,

The honest truth. I have a 5g Hospital tank. And in 2 years I have never ever used it. Never once needed it at all.

I thinking I will just work something out with the folks. Leave the tank at home for a while, get things sorted then, slowly shift the lot across one at a time.
