Filter Bio
Traveling with a bio-filter?
In several months, I am planning to move and will have to move my 20-gallon freshwater fish tank as well. Although I’m sure it’ll be pretty hectic and I may lose some fish, I wanted some advice on how to move my bio-filter safely so that it doesn’t crash. I would be moving my penguin bio-wheel filter and would have to “preserve” it for at most a day or two during the moving process. Any suggestions or advice would be helpful. Thank you!
It is very possible and easy. I’ve transported filter media, and not even experienced a mini cycle.
The trick is to treat the filter media like a fish. Put it in a bag with treated water of the same temperature. Also, add a few bag buddies to the bag. The bacteria need oxygen, just like the fish. While the bacteria can survive without the addition, it doesn’t hurt, and you can use them for your fish too. Put the filter media in the same cooler you are using to transport your fish.
