[gradybaby16]

Can't really think right now so i need some help

Im in the process of breaking down my tank to buy a new one........ question is where would i be able to put my fish and coral for up to a week that i may not have the tank? where they would do good, any hosehould things or may be an lfs that could help

just regular coral and fish are a mysterry wrasse, clown, pistol shrimp and goby, and possibly two damsels....

you could setup a holding tank using a trash can or plastic storage "crate?". if you have a light you could put over that all you would need to do is throw a heater and powerhead in and youre all setup

Yep, I bought one of those circular plastic lugs with the rope handles that holds about 15 gallons and set up a make shift tank out of that for about 2 weeks.

So i have a light, i have a heater, and i have a fw filter i guess could act like a power head without the filter inside


what about filtration? will i need a filter? because all i have is a topfin 10 stored somewhere from fw tank lmao

As long as there are powerheads and liverock you should be fine.

cool coral are all mounted to live rock so that will be good, hopefully can catch everything (mainly the shrimp) and not stir up the sand bed and what not


Thanks everyone been alot of help.... time to get to get this thing setup
