Ok, moving in 3 weeks. Got my plan down: going to move everything into a 100 gallon rubbermaid trough. Clean tank. I put 2nd bigger trough in new home, move everything in 5 and 20 gallon buckets to new trough. Movers move tank, set up new tank. Voila....
Question: how long have you all kept fish/corals in a trough? I am thinking of moving everything into the trough 3-5 days before the actual move so I can clean the tank/sump out completely, and then want to take my time in the new location setting everything up. Everything will be connected except the skimmer ie apex, lights, etc. So maybe 10 days total, that ok without a skimmer?
Advice, like do I need to do water changes in those 10 days? 50% of the water will be fresh.
Cheers.
