Between a Rock and a Hard Place...
Hey guys. I am upgrading my tank tommorow evening and Its going to be a mother trying to drain my tank now, get my gars and bichirs out, get the tank replaced with the new one and set up, and get the fish back in. I dont want any casualties...Help me out? what order shouuld i do it all in? what should i keep my larger fish in during the switch? any and all help appreciated.
 
1) drain smaller tank to 50%
2)transfer fish to holding area filled with water from tank
3)drain rest of tank and remove contents
4)tear down old set up
5)put up the new one
6)put decor in the new tank
7)fill with water to where the old tank water will fill it to 100%
8)acclimate fish and now you have a happy tank
hope this helped :)
