SilverLeopardess Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 Hi members, I've been approved by the wife to have a new 600l tank! I currently have a 400l with bosemani rainbows, cichlids, loaches, an eel and a bristlenose. I don't want to re-home my fish, just have someone care for them while I get their new tank set up. The location of the 400 is where my new 600 is going to be. I need to shut down my 400 and set up the new tank when it arrives. My problem is I need to "board" my fish babies somewhere. I have no where to put the 400 while I set up the 600 and I need the filter from the old tank for the new one. Any help would be massively appreciated!

ryanjury Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 I would just do the install and removal at the same time. It doesn't look like there are a huge amount of fish there. So they would be ok in a plastic bin with heater and filter running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godly3vil Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 Yip, exactly as Ryan said. I have done this multiple times over the years with no issues. The plastic bins from Mitre 10 work great. Have had fish in them for days with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 I agree with the other two 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
