Ok, so a better system is in the works. I've procured 3 50 gallon tanks that don't leak, and I will be making mesh lids for them. I have people at the marine center helping me build a closed system for them that hooks into a bio filter, a carbon filter, and a UV filter. I have a big plastic bucket for my sump.
Does anyone have any suggestions for moving them? Because of the limited space, the new, big tanks have to go where the current ones are now. But I wanted to give the new set-up a couple of days to cycle. Unless I can find a place to move the tanks to, I don't know if this will be possible. But to move the tanks do you think it would be ok to put them in buckets? It wouldn't be for more than a few hours, just enough time to either get the new tanks in and cycling or to move and refill the old tanks somewhere else.
Also, I was going to hold off on feeding them when we were to move them. The set-up should be finished by Friday. Should I hold off on feeding them? Or feed them tomorrow anyway? I just thought there might be less waste contamination during their move when their changing tanks.
