It has finally arrived. My move into a new house.
I plan on shutting off my sump. Transferring it to the new place and using it two hold my 3 fish, anemone and mushrooms.
It will be easier to have circulation and heat in there.
They will be cramped only temporarily.
Here is my big question.
When I set up my tank and fill it with water I want to use as much tank water as possible. So as to have as much of the benficial thinigies as I can.
I am going to do a 20 gallon change tomorrow morning. And then do another 20 gallon change on Saturday morning.
I will store the water from the change on Saturday morning and when I move the tank I will siphon and store as much as the water in the tank that I can and use it to fill the tank as much as it will. Then top-off with fresh mix.
My question is, is doing these two large water changes going to harm my inhabitants or should it be ok?
