We just bought a house and are in the process of moving. We got all the day to day essentials moved yesterday. We stayed last night for the first night. We move the tanks on the 14th. I just wanted to make sure my plan is doable. Little info on the 2 tanks.
120g: 4'x2'x2'
FX6 with all sponges and almost a gallon of matrix, Emperor 400 with standard media, XP1 with matrix and those star thingies feeding a 36w TurboTwist.
3 Geo Winemilleri 3"
5 Geo Balzani 2-3"
1 med sized clown loach 4"
1 baby flagtail 4"
2 baby BN's. 2-3"
225g 6'x27.5"x27.5"
Standard 75g sump with over a gallon of matrix and over 5lbs of rings. 3x100 micron socks.
14" L203
9" L191
6" L190
6" L330
4" L177
4" L128
6x Threadfin Acaras 4-6"
2x Red Hump Geos 3-4"
7" Gold Severum
12" Flagtail
6 BA tetras
6 Blackskirt tetras
The 220 is hard plumbed And glued. So I have to cut all the plumbing out and start over. This will take a day or so including the move. So the plan is to put all the fish into the 120 when I drain the 225. I will leave the filters intact on the 120 plus I'm gonna hang the 2 media bags from my sump in the 120 with my big korilla blowing water across them. Do you see and issues for all those fish for~24hrs in the 120? I have tons of driftwood so Plecos fighting is a non Issue. All the cichlids are laid back. I'm asking strictly from a media/ammonia standpoint.
Opinions? Aaaaaaaaaaaaand discuss!!!
