Liquidreel Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Hello! i am moving soon and need to tear down my 16 gallon. Since I will only be able to keep my two 5 gallon tanks. I want to use this as an opportunity to rescape since I will be using some plants from my 16 gallon and want to change gravel. Should I do this before the move so I don’t have to save plants in a bucket while I move? Or would it be better to wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or will you need to break those down for the move anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I would just put all the plants in a bucket, and move everything. Get the tank set up at the new house the way you want and plant away. Plants are pretty hardy. I've seen them withstand being in a package being shipped for a week, no water, just kept moist with newspaper and in the dark, so if they are in a bucket with some water and even a little bit of light, they will be fine for several days or even longer.

KaitieG Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I think you'd be totally good to do this either way then--I'd say whenever you'd have the most fun/time to work on it (before vs. after the move), go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay cool! I’m thinking before the move. Easier to catch the kuhli loaches in the 16 that i am putting away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
