- John received an interesting email about someone needing to move aquariums and decided that him and The Professor should spend an hour talking about it.

I enjoy breaking down and setting tanks back up.
Loved this weeks podcast. An idea for an upcoming podcast could be to talk about power outages. From either winter or storm weather and how to be prepared.
Well done Gentleman..great topic...a couple years back I found a 125 acrylic with stand and made the mistake of picking it up by myself .....lucky for me the husband was there with his wife who was selling it and gave me a hand ....but when I got back home it was me and dolly...back was not happy for a day or two after...but we made it in.
Keep it up Kings...many blessings yall
Easiest way to clean hard water stains:
Soak paper towels in vinegar
Lay soaked paper towels on hard water stains
Wait 20 min
Wipe clean
Changed my life!
Borrow (or even buy, if you have to) the large suction cups with handles you can clamp onto the tank. Much better for gripping than trying to hold the tank by the edge.
Those were a life saver
you guys should do an episode or maybe just jason do a nerdy science video about detoxification in aquariums, a lot of products say they detoxify different things in your aquarium but what is that detox process, do these products really work and if they do/dont then how are they working and whats the best use of these products like are ammonia nitrite and nitrate detoxifiers all that good and whats going on in your tank when you add them and how does dechlorinators remove the chemicals we need them to remove and such...i should note i do note a bunch of these answers (not all tho) but its a cool fun nerdy science topic that im sure a lot of people dont know and theres a lot a varying info so having two ppl discuss pros cons and science behind it is always a plus
This episode was well timed! I've got a new 180 tank arriving this week hopefully and I'm hoping the delivery driver and I will be strong enough to lift it in, I've moved this size tank before with one other person (which had 2 panes of glass in the bottom👀) the new tank is a single pane in the bottom, ill make sure to make a plan and have things to rest the tank on if needed!
Thanks
Aaron
No show this week I'm lost without you two
I actually just had to move my 125 to the garage this past weekend. The woman bought me a new 75, and she wanted the 125 moved from the living room. Started at 4:30 P.M. Saturday, got done at 5:00A.M. Sunday. 😴😴 Definitely make sure you take the time to do it.
Guys had me cracking up about eating the fish gravel mud and yes asking a friend to move is the top tier of most horrible friend favors😂
I find that if you take paper towels and let them in vinegar and stick them to the empty aquarium it makes less razor blade work
I purchased a large 110 gallon tank last year. The gentleman I bought it lived up stairs, 16 outdoor Steel steps with an air conditioner at about 6 steps in to make me hang, briefly, over the railing. We did everything that you both suggested including air stones for the 31 fish he sold with the tank. Our choice was go slow don’t rush there’s too much that can go wrong so, literally, one step at a time. No I wouldn’t do that again and he had 2 tanks for sale lol 😂 stay happy and healthy my friends!! 😊❤
A couple of things that I think you did not mention to bring with you is a water pump and hoses or a siphon to remove the water.
I'm a simple man I see TANK TALK and I 👍 😅😅😅
I have always a dustpan with to scope the substrate out.
Always bring more buckets than you think you will need
I have to move a piano this week for my brother in law! 😭😭😭
How fitting it is for me to me to come arcross this Video . Because in a few months my wife and me will be moving I,m just thinking of just getting another 55gallon tank new decore new substrate the whole 9 yards🦈🦈🦈🦈
This past weekend I actually got a 190 gallon aquarium it was not fun Moving it funny that this vid came out just when I got the tank over the weekend lol
Having lived on a farm, you need a hay elevator on the stairs….ha!
John I remember watching that video with you moving that tank into you Basement I felt it watching from Toronto when you son-in-law hit his shoulder
I moved both my 32 and 20 gallon tanks to new locations in the house by draining most of the water and moving them. No issues.
Spent over 30 years in the moving business and still fish tanks are a scary carry. But if you put a 125 on a few moving pads but need to be thick you can move it with pretty easy. Thanks for the video.
Spare tank? What's that? All mine have fish in them
To the person that send in the topic. I would have a spare tank on hand at home. Cleaning tanks can take up a long time. Especially 3 of them at teh same time. If you come home and leave your fish in the tubs till your finnished cleaning. 😵💫. If you have a spare tank. You put the fish in 2 of the dirty tanks plus the extra tank. You can now clean 1 tank. Install it, move the fish. Take in the second tank and so on. If you don't have a spare tank by a cheap one second hand for the weekend. Resell it if all tanks are ready.
I think I'd rather help someone else move fish tank, rather than move my own. It seems like it would be a little less stressful... :)
Love the show guys, would be awesome if you could get some guest appearances. Alex from fishstory comes to mind. I think him and Jason could geek out about tannins.
Could you put baffles in the partly filled small tank to reduce sloshing?
It's after 11am EST and the podcast still isn't showing up on Apple podcasts. 😩
Great episode and perfect timing as I have a major algae issue in my tank. It's been up for about 15 years, so I guess it's time to give my tank a thorough clean with new substrate etc. The discussion about taking fish from dirty water and just putting them in clean water but make sure temp is the same and use a dechlorinator seems scary to me. PH in my tank is 7-7.5. I have hard tap water with a 8+ PH. Would love to hear a discussion on a future podcast about using different water types - such as tap, RO, or water that runs through a softener. What's the best thing to do if your water is too hard / too high of a PH? I know there are minerals and chemicals you can add to adjust hardness, lower Ph etc, but I prefer not to use those if possible. I currently use mostly RO, but am constantly trying to get the right mix of tap and RO...seems like there should be an easier way!
If the ground was cold then maybe when you set them on the floor it might have rapidly changed the temp?
I bought a custom 240 gallon for my apartment and luckily with Dollie’s got it into my apt, just put it on the stand afterwords too 4 of us and we not burly
I would love for you to get Andres Ryan of BioAquatix on to talk about how he breeds clown loaches and Siamese algae eaters.
I think one of the worst things you can be asked about is help moving a gun safe
John, any thoughts on how best to move glass aquarium lids? 😂
Im bringing...
Gravel vac
Pump
Siphoning hose.
Nets
Buckets
Totes
Declor
Test kit
Gravel scoop
And large scent free garbage bags to line my Totes with and rubber bands
Jason, my sons tell me they are not helping me moving my aquariums 😅
Is fritzyme 7 or seachem stability better?
Back in the day, I moved a 180 gallon tank with monster fish (snakehead, pacus, gar,clown knife). I bought brand new garbage cans and put them in there to move them. Duct taped the tops on. It was winter and they were moved in the back of a pickup truck. Everyone made it !!
This is why I don't have anything bigger than a 75
This episode isnt showing up in Spotify for me
It's on there now, it was my fault, I thought it was published but it wasn't (John)
paging dr beet
I am trying to get some live plants from KG tropicals and it is sold out so I hade my wife whating on a email from
oh man id love to hear these two just rip about baseball....LETS GO BLUE JAYS? maybe i guess
Let Jason speak more. He is very knowledgeable, concise and to the point.
Be careful John may ban you from the channel. I was a bit harsh on his KGTropical though. I agree though, yapper!!
Actually, I'm the one that banned you from the Kgtropicals channel
@@davidadkins8805 No, really? Banned for constructive criticism?? Well, if that's the case there are other channels to gather information from.😇
Rudeness and insults aren't constructive criticism. Different opinions on how to do things in this hobby are expected and sharing those opinions are always welcome.
@@Kenn1969 I admit I was rude!!
Moving fish when the tank is cracked is terrifying. Especially when you don’t have a spare tank
