I will be moving houses within the next two weeks, and would like some help and input.
One of my fish came down with velvet, so all fish are currently being quarantined in a 15 gallon, and everyone looks happy and healthy (treating with CP)
I feel I can move the QT easily enough as there’s no rock/sand/skimmer/etc.
I’m leaving my 42 gallon fallow until September 5th to stay on the safe side in case it was ich (even if it wasn’t it could still be in there)
So what I’m getting at is, will moving the dt affect the fallow cycle? I plan to put the sand in 5 gallon buckets with water, as well as the rock and put the rest of the water into gallon jugs. I expect this will cause a cycle of some sort once it’s set back up.
And also- the whole set up is ~450 pounds
It will be in a manufactured home. It’s is a corner tank, will the corner be safe for it? I plan on putting cinder blocks underneath the house but I can’t do much until we actually leave the house (my mother is leaving her marriage, so we have to keep it a secret)

It should be fine as long as you put it close to a wall. I have mine along the middle wall of the middle piece of the house (triple wide). Mines a 50g with a 20g sump and the house is doing well.
