So we are looking at houses and plan to move by spring next year. Will be within a 70 miles of current location.
The reef actually seems the easiest to move buy another 40b transport the rocks, coral, fish and equipment to the new already cycled tank. Use new sand.
Next comes the planted, its a 55 gallon.
Its a layered substrate, co2 injected, nutreint dosed system with leds. The plants have been growing for about 7 years, so any move will require uprooting, ditching the substrate and starting over for the most part.
This move has been in the works for 2 years now so i havent stocked any replacements to any fish that have passed from old age. So is now a tank of guppies, 2 clown plecos and a pair of wild caught rams oh and a whip tail cat i see every 6 months or so. All have been in the system for at least 5 years. Really tempted to gift the fish and tear it down and perhaps do a sea horse tank out of it for the other half. Not sure i have the patience to set this tank up again.
Last to move i have about a 16 8-12” goldfish in an outside pond. Any realistic way to move pond fish successfully outside the warmer months? Or building a pond while its cold quickly?
Figured i would get some advice ahead of time rather than wait for the last minute.
