hay guys as you know im going from a 90 gallon to a 150 the question is can i put my fish in a 10 gallon tank with a powerhead for 2 days at most until i make sure everythings ok with my 150.its only 6 fish 2 feathers and an anenomy.
 
What kind of fish? Are they big? Did you ask your LFS if they could babysit? Mine does it by me all the time for there custumers.
 
i dont trust my closest LFS and besides i just moved here and dont know them like that.its 1 -2"queen angel,1 small damsel,1-2"harlequin bass,2pseudochromis an inch long,a 1"wrasse,an anenome,and 2 feathers
 
Those are some pretty close quarters.

You may get by with it but I would go for at least a 20 gallon if it were me.
 
Can you buy a huge rubbermaid type container at Walmart or some cheap store? Don't forget a heater along with the powerhead. I am still confused, are you going to Puerto Rico or are you there now?
 
yes the tank is in puerto rico and i will be there next week. does the rubbermade have to be deep or long and short,and will i get by with just a powerhead in there. i dont need a heater (dont wanna cook em)its 90 over there,but just making sure if i need anything else
 
If you go into a walmart or kmart ect... they have a big selection of storage bins in housewares. You'll have a better idea of what you need when you see them in person.If your powerhead is any good it should be okay for a couple of days.You only have one for the 90?
 
Rubbermaids will be a lot better, and I suggest getting two of them. Even without knowing what type of anemone you have, would suggest keeping it in a different one then the fish.

When I re-did my 58 I kept my fish in rubbermaids, used a heater and a powerhead in each. They were in there for 2 days and worked out perfectly.

Todd, those were the same ones I was talking about! Thanks for the picture I am not home now so I didn't know what size I was trying to explain! :)
 
Yea, I think that would be a very good idea. Plus the pieces of live rock will have the bacteria on/in them to help with keeping the ammonia down during that time frame.
 
deb im going to my house in puerto rico next saturday thats when the adventure starts i am looking so forward to setting up my new 150 gallon baby i cant wait. my wife is mad but i already bought my son the nintendo wii for his birthday and i told her when i get to puerto rico i was gonna give her $300 dollars to disappear for the day while me and my cousin start the new project,hahahahahahaha
