6 Steps to Safely Moving a Fish Tank to San Antonio

Published: January 01, 2023

Prior to moving with your aquarium, there are certain considerations you must keep in mind to ensure a successful transition. UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of San Antonio 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. Keep germs at bay by cleaning your tank thoroughly after you’ve emptied it.

2. Before loading the tank onto the vehicle, make sure it’s completely dry. Additionally, ensure that the aquarium is free of any water or foreign material.

3. Before moving the tank, remove any equipment from it. Before moving the tank, do not forget to remove everything inside it, such as filters and heaters.

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

5. Keep your aquarium in good working order. A traveling blanket is an ideal way to keep your tank secure during travel, much more reliable than using towels or rugs.

6. Once your fish tank is reconnected and ready to be used, fill it with water and inspect for any fractures in the glass. It could be that after the transfer, you realized a few leaks!
