6 Steps to Safely Moving a Fish Tank to Ogden

Published: June 01, 2022

Do you need to move with a fish tank? There are a few things to keep in mind to guarantee it arrives safely at your new location. UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Ogden 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 before loading it onto the vehicle. Also, clean out any water or foreign particles from the aquarium.

2. Remove all of the water and everything in the tank. Make sure to dry out the tank completely after it is empty. This will help prevent germs from taking hold in the tank.

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

4. To avoid bumps and scratches, cover the tank with a traveling blanket.

5. Always keep your aquarium in good condition. To avoid dropping the tank when moving it, use a traveling blanket instead of towels or rugs.

6. When you’ve completed transporting the tank to your new home, reconnect all of the equipment, assemble it in place, and set it up. Check for any leaks before filling it with water.
