I have moved 20 gallon tanks short distances before, after draining all but a couple of inches of water, and all decor, and substrate causing damage to neither tank nor fish. If I read you correctly, your basic problem is that you wish the new tank to occupy the old tank's space. So my plan is tomorrow I'm getting my tank stand for the 46 gallon tank, and I want to completely shut down the 20 gallon tank, its well planted and belongs to 5 Pea Puffers, my thought is to get a new heater tomorrow (as the one I have isn't big enough in wattage), more sand as I only have enough for the 20 gallon tank, the filter is good for 60 gallons and is fully cycled for the puffers, I know that I have to keep the puffers in water even when transferring, but how do I move everything in the 20 gallon to the 46 gallon safely as they are staying In the location that the 20 gallon is in so it must be shut down before I can set the 46 gallon tank up.ĥ Pea Puffers (they have been together since the beginning of may) they are 1 male and 4 femalesĬan I transfer (keeping puffers in water) to an ice cream bucket, put ottos in a separate bucket, gather what shrimp I can get- of course all plants and caves have to be out first so that I can see what I need to catch, then drain the water into my fish tub (10 gallon bucket), then remove the tank from area, set up the 46 gallon, place newly rinsed sand in tank, and add old sand in by sccoping it out of the 20 gallon, using a bucket put old water back in tank, plant the plants, check the temp of the water, dose the tank for the entire amount then use my python to fill the tank back up, and then add fish back in (puffers go in last, so shrimp can hide if need be)ĭoes that sound like a viable option or does anyone else have a suggestion
