Hey all, I have a 13.5 gallon and will soon be moving 3 hours away. I don't have any corals yet so that will make it a little easier, but I have 2 small fish. I plan on putting the majority of rock and all the filter media in 5 gallon buckets and will put the fish in Tupperware containers. I am hoping to keep the base of the rocks in the tank while I move because I plan to get a pistol shrimp soon and would like to keep the rocks on the glass not on the sand bed. When I get there, my first priority is the fish obviously. So will they be okay for 3+ hours while I set their tank back up and let it get back to temperature? Will moving all the rock and filter media cause a significant amount of die off in the bacteria population? Should I be keeping a close eye on ammonia levels after the move?
Any tips on moving long distances would be greatly appreciated
