Why should I hire a professional for aquarium maintenance?
Aquariums are very specific items to transport. Apart from their heavy weight, they are easily fragile and prone to damage. Also, the aquarium should be transported very carefully, because fish and other animals that live in water are very sensitive and must never be left on a dry surface. This is why aquariums must be moved with the utmost care and the aquarium movers must be trained professionals.
What should you pay attention to when transporting an aquarium?
Transporting an aquarium is very difficult without emptying the aquarium and moving the animals into smaller containers. It is necessary to take care to move the fish and other animals into containers in which you will create similar conditions in which they were in the aquarium. Transporting the aquarium is a good opportunity to thoroughly clean the aquarium and the items in it, as well as restore the plants that are essential for water purification. Moving aquariums should be well planned and done in the shortest possible time so that the fish and aquatic organisms are not without the necessary oxygen for too long and the water temperature does not change drastically, because various diseases occur in fish with a sudden cooling of the water.
What preparations should be made before transporting the aquarium?
Before transporting the aquarium, it is necessary to prepare everything necessary for transport. The most important thing is to prepare the containers in which you will move the fish and animals. Pour enough water from the aquarium into the transport containers. Plants and fish from the aquarium should be gently moved from the aquarium to the container with a net. That container should be such that, due to the fear of changing the space, the fish cannot jump out of it. Remove the excess water from the aquarium with a hose, remove the sand and quartz gravel substrate, and if possible, remove the filter mass. You can also do a thorough cleaning of the glass of the aquarium and other objects in it.
