Look at my 60g setup.... i want to remove all the fish and add them to a 29GL i would be running two sponge filters inside the tank.... they have to stay like this for a week... can this be done or will it be too over stocked for a week.... water changes will be done every other day to keep up... or 5 g a day... so what do most off u think?

I also need to do the same to my 240. i have a 100g on the side im going to fill up and move ALL of them into that tank does that sound over stock? but that one wont go for a week only a few hours tell flooring is installing.

Or should i just wait on the big tank tell later in the week.. that rooms will be done last. so i can move all the kids from the 60 to the 100g and run it bare..... (if i do this) should i take 20g of water from the 60 into the 100 and the rest fresh?
 
We are installing carpite n wood flooring... the stand/tank is in the way. So If the tank is on the ground can i still vac out the water with a hose no pump?
 
I think it sounds all right. Do lots of water changes and yeah, you might get a few injuries as they adjust to the smaller conditions.
 
it sound fine for just a week. i think theyll adapt to a smaller tank just watch them carefully.
