I have a pretty good game plan. It is only an hour drive but it’s my first time moving a tank and am worried.
I have a Fluval Evo 13.5 stocked with corals, 2 clownfish, a goby, a pistol shrimp, and CUC.
My plan is to drain the tank but keep the sand (I vacuum it every water change so it’s very clean) and biomedia wet as to not disturb the bacteria.
1 bucket will have my rock, corals, and CUC
1 bucket with have the fish and pistol shrimp with 1 piece of live rock and a bubbler
1 bucket for the rest of the water
I am nervous about putting the fish and pistol shrimp in the same container, will the stress of the environment cause the pistol shrimp to harm the clownfish? Or will it stay with the goby and be fine for the hour car ride.
Also I have a tight fitting lit for the fish bucket, but will that work with the air pump or should I do Saran Wrap in case the fish jump and I can poke holes to let air and CO2 escape.
Is the bubbler necessary for only an hour car ride?
Lots of uncertainty but I hope everything turns out ok!
