Here’s a few pics from our move to NC. As most of you will know, we have a 55 gallon fish tank that we love, and we wanted to move the tank and all the fish to their new home in NC. Here’s the fish in coolers, getting ready for the move:
And here we are, in the car, with the fish loaded, gassing up, about to move.
The fish were troopers and here there are in their coolers, waiting for us to be able to set up the main tank and send them home again.
If you’re interested in the details, here’s what we did: We bought two large coolers, lined them with large trash bags, and bought cheap batter operated air pumps and a digital submersible thermometer. We poked 2 holes into each trash bag and stuck airline tubing in them, one tube for the airpump, one for exhaust. The idea is that the airpump will continually pump fresh air into the water, the bubbles will agitate the surface for gas exchange, and the exhaust will vent off any “old” air. Left some air space up, sealed the backs, threw them in the back (wedging pens under the lid so the tubing will not get crimped). All worked great! Thinking of starting a business moving rich people’s fish.
