Fish tanks are essential tools for many people to keep pet fish, but with the change of home style and decoration needs, we may need to move the fish tank. However, this process is not easy. This article will share some clever ways to move the fish tank to help you complete this task safely.

  1. Empty the fish tank
First, drain all the water in the fish tank. This can prevent water from damaging or corroding the fish tank or surrounding furniture during transportation. At the same time, it will also make the fish tank lighter, which will make it easier to move.
  1. Remove accessories and equipment from the fish tank
Before moving the fish tank, it is best to remove some accessories and equipment on the fish tank, such as filters and heaters. This can reduce the weight of the fish tank, making it easier to carry and avoid collisions and damage to the parts in it
  1. Pad the fish tank with a towel or sponge
Using a towel or sponge to pad the fish tank can reduce the friction between the fish tank and the ground, thereby reducing the possibility of friction damage or scratching the floor or furniture. At the same time, it can also prevent the glass fish tank from shattering or breaking.
  1. Have another person assist or use moving equipment
For large or heavy fish tanks, it may take more than one person to move them. If you don't have the right person to help, consider buying or renting moving equipment, such as a cart or lift, which will not only reduce the load, but also make the operation safer.
  1. Take your time when moving the fish tank
Whether you are moving it alone or using equipment, move the fish tank slowly and avoid sudden movements or quick turns. This can help protect the fish tank and surrounding items to ensure that the fish tank does not break or items are damaged during the move.

▍Cleaning and drying
Before moving the fish tank, be sure to clean it thoroughly first, and also clean the decorative items in the fish tank, such as fake rocks. When cleaning a large fish tank, avoid wiping it with metal tools to prevent scratching the glass, and do not use detergents to prevent affecting the goldfish. After cleaning, the fish tank should be placed in a dark place to dry naturally, avoiding exposure to the sun.
▍ Multiple people assist in carrying
When carrying a fish tank alone, even if protective measures are taken, it is recommended that someone assist and ensure the stability of the fish tank.
▍ Create a suitable environment
After the fish tank is moved to the new home, you should use aquatic plants and other items to create a suitable living environment for goldfish or other fish in advance, and avoid putting fish in immediately. It is best to wait for about a week to allow the fish to gradually adapt to the air and atmosphere in the new environment.
