I have to move my aquarium out of my house to allow for termite fumigation.
Since Petco is currently having their $1 per gallon sale and I have been planning on setting up a QT tank, I buying a 20 gallon aquarium which I will house in my son's nearby home.
I'm going to use a bio wheel filter on the aquarium . I'll also have a heater and power head in the aquarium.
So my question has to due with water for the aquarium. I was thinking of using 10 or 15 gallons from my current aquarium and 5 gallons of freshly mixed saltwater. Does that sound like a good plan?
I only have three fish to worry about. I have a couple of open brain corals and some frogspawn. Would it be ok to house the coral with the fish? Or in the tote that will house my rock?
Now a second question. I plan on placing my rock into a tote with my skimmer and a heater and power head. Should I use as much of my aquarium water for the rock?
Hopefully I can get my aquarium back into my house in less than a week.
Thank you in advance for your input.
