I am in the process of buying a mature 250l Redsea tank and will need to relocate it to my house. I am re entering the tropical marine arena after 20 years.
It contains live rock which could assist with maintaining the water quality after the move. Alberton to Randburg <30 min drive. It involves fish shrimp and an anemone
I have planned the physical move with advice from the various forums but are still concerned about the following:
Should I wash the gravel - (might be required to be removed to reduce weight of the tank for moving)
What can I expect will happen with my water quality after the move. Will it require cycling or will it be ok to reintroduce the fish etc immediately?
I will transport all the existing water(except for losses) etc and will have makeup quantity available at home.
Should I consider adding anything for reducing the shock of the move and to prevent illness?
Thanks Frikkie
