6 Steps to Safely Moving a Fish Tank to Orlando

Published: October 01, 2022

Before you move your fish tank to its new home, you’ll need to consider a few things. UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Orlando can assist you in ensuring that your fish tank arrives in good condition at its new location. Follow these six easy steps:

1. Remove all water from the tank and any decorations. Once the tank is emptied, ensure that it is entirely dry by wiping it down. Doing so will help to stop germs from growing in the tank.

2. Before loading the tank onto the vehicle, make sure it’s completely dry. Also, remove any water or foreign particles from the aquarium.

3. Before moving the tank, remove any equipment from it. Remove all of the tank’s components, including filters and heaters, before moving it.

4. Cover the tank with a traveling blanket to avoid bumps and scratches.

5. Keep your aquarium in good working order. To prevent the tank from falling while transporting it, use a traveling blanket rather than towels or rugs.

6. It’s possible that after the move, you discovered a few leaks. Fill the tank with water and check for fractures in the glass once everything has been reconnected and put together.

Follow these six steps to move your fish tank safely, and you’ll be good to go! Check out the UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Orlando blog for more moving tips and advice.
