So some of you read I was getting a 75g. Got it, it leaked, turns out it's cracked so scrapping it and am picking up an entire 125g setup. From stand to fish. I'm not exactly sure what kind of fish besides a large pleco, and a large assortment of cichlids. My question....
I am gong to have to empty this tank to move it safely. I plan on keeping the filter/media in a bucket of the same water and same with the fish. I'm going to try and keep as much of the original water as possible. BUT, I also plan on changing the decorations and gravel out to some new ones. Would it be best to change the gravel and keep the decorations until the tank is reastablished? I have no where to keep the fish until it's stable and I want to keep the fish as stress free as possible. Or will it be ok to remove all gravel nd decor at once? Thank you for any input! Also, best/safest way to move the tank itself. I want to try and keep it from getting cracked or broken during the move. Styrofoam? Pillows?
