Follow These 6 Steps if You’re Moving with a Fish Tank

Published: May 01, 2022

If you’re transporting a fish tank, there are a few things to keep in mind to guarantee it arrives safely to your new location. UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Bucks and Mercer County can assist you in ensuring that your fish tank arrives in good condition at its new location. Follow these six easy steps:

1. If you’re moving a tank, make sure it’s completely dry. Also, clean the aquarium of any water and foreign objects.

2. Remove all of the water from the tank and all of its contents. Make sure to dry out the tank completely after it is empty. This will aid in the prevention of any germs from growing.

3. Before moving the tank, make sure to unplug all of its components. Remove any filters, heaters, or other equipment from the tank before transporting it.

4. Wrap the tank in a moving blanket to keep it safe from bumps and scratches.

5. Remember to take good care of the aquarium. To avoid dropping the tank when moving it, use a traveling blanket.

6. Once you’ve brought the tank to your new home and reconnected all of the equipment, assemble it in place and set up the tank. Before filling it with water, make sure there are no leaks.
