Hi,
Thanks for all the suggestions. My community tank moved without much stress due to using a smaller 2 ft tank and reusing the large tank water.Granted the new tank didnt cycle but the fish seemed quite happy. I lost 2 fish...one due to jumping out when I wasn't looking and the other ?
Now the community tank is doing great. Fish have never looked better and I even have a 2ft tank has all my guppys in it
All in all I am very pleased but I do not want to do it again!!
Happy moving to all of you who might have to over winter ...KIM
