Winner of most epic response for this thread

That is the most epic response of the thread. Unfortunately, the water was not much better than bong water. While it was clear there was waste all over the bottom of the tank. Much to my surprise the heater was not working and the tank temperature marched the apartment ambient of 62F.

Anyway, I brought 30G of water, all the substrate submerged water and the two bio wheels. All the stones and rocks were transported, but not under water.

Right now I and roping the fish. Two clien loaches, one pleco, two silver dollars, one bunch it and one small goldfish.

This has been an insane day. I woke up two snow, encountered two accidents on my way to the tank and roasted myself to death on the way home to keep the fish as warm as possible.

Regardless, everyone is happy we were able to take the fish as my FIL loved the fish. My FIL was a proud, stubborn man and he was unwilling to ask for help. He became handicapped and refused to accept it. That scenario led to the tanks condition.

Haha. Looks like you got got by autocorrect. I greatly admire your dedication to your late father in law, and am very sorry that you experienced his loss. I am certain he would appreciate the action you are taking to save his fish. I tip my hat to you, good sir.

I did, but I corrected it. Thank you for the kind words. I'm doing this for him and my 10 yr old daughter who desperately wanted the fish. My in laws are so happy we are taking the fish. I've got my daughter checking drip bucket temps. Soon time for tank introduction. She is so excited!!!
