Steps to Safely Moving a Fish Tank in East Bay

Published: March 01, 2022

If you’re moving with a fish tank, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure that it is as safe as possible. UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of East Bay can assist you in ensuring that your fish tank arrives in good condition at its new location. Follow these six easy steps:

1. Make sure the tank is completely dry before moving on. Remove any water and any rocks or plants from the tank.
2. Dry the tank and all of its contents. Once the tank is empty, make sure to dry it out completely. This will help prevent any bacteria from growing.
3. Remove all of the equipment from the pool. Disconnect any filters, heaters, or other gadgets from the tank before moving it.
4. Wrap the tank in a moving blanket to keep it safe from bumps and scratches.
5. Make sure you handle the tank with care. Wrap the aquarium in a moving blanket when transporting it, and don’t drop it.
6. Once you’ve moved in, set up the tank in its new location and reconnect all of the equipment. Before filling it with water, ensure that there are no leaks.
