Likely moving in a year - worth starting a new tank? (1 Viewer)

[smootie]

I just moved to Houston and have mostly settled in. Thinking about starting up a nano tank (likely 20-30 gallons) with soft corals and plants. However, I'm pretty certain that I will be moving to a different house (in Houston) when my lease is up next July. How stable would a tank like this be in a year? How safe and/or difficult will it be to move it?

Well a nano would be great for u it's small and very easy to move! And soft corals are tanks! It's not like it gonna be filled with acros! And I also have my nano for sale it's a fluval evo 13 gallon! If ur interested check out the thread in the used equipment therad or just shoot me a pm!

I would do it. I wouldn't go much bigger though.

Agreed. Anything larger and will have to struggle to place everything in transport buckets for the move. Probably best to go sadnless for this setup to avoid the hassle of transporting that. Plus this gives you a year of time to mature the current setup and once you have decided on where you're moving to you can start planing on the big tank and where it will go. Once the move happens get the small one back up in a temp location while the big tank is setup and cycling, then transfer everything over and shut the small one down.

Only thing I would do different is keep the small one going for quarteen.
