Its official were gonna move to Germany in 4 weeks. We are familiar with a big move because my Clowntank moved 2,5 years ago. But this time we need to adjust Kaya our Fahaka and our 4 dwarfs over to new water params. We didnt had that problem with our Clowns because then i used osmose water (Don't have it anymore). Now i only prefilter the high nitrates out and leave the rest as it is, since its stable params.
Curent water is:
Kaya + dwarfs
PH 7.2 with co2 (Dwarfs 7,5 no co2)
KH 4
GH 8 a 9
No2 0
No3 <10 dwarfs have 10>
Nh4 0
Germany after prefilter
PH 8 (Tap is 8/8,5)
KH 4
GH 12
No2 0
No3 10 (Tap is 50 mg/l)
I can move about 150 liters of water.
Will a box of 50 liters be enough for her to make the 1,5/2 hour journey?
When she arrives I can get her a 90 liter black pond with the water i'm bringing untill we get her tank up and running.
I can also put 1 of her pumps on it. Will this be big enough for her to stay, for about +/- 2 hours till her tank is back up?
The rest will be used to keep her pumps running, and for a waterchange if needed.
I can try to get bigger holdingtanks ofcourse, but this is what i already got at home from when we moved our Clowns.
Kaya is the biggest fish we ever moved. So I wanted to play it safe.
Now comes the trickiest part for me. How do i ween Kaya and the dwarfs over to their new params?
*Edit: Got the Move article PP sended it to me in my Fahaka topic.
But more tips are always welcome!
