Moving your tank can be a bit tricky. Aquariums can vary quite a bit in size, so you have to take into consideration where the fish tank is located. The tank's dimensions also have to be taken into consideration, along with any features that make the tank more attractive to people. Do you want your fish tank to have lights or no lights at all? How do you plan to move the aquarium?

Before you go ahead and start moving your aquarium, have a few things in mind. Think about where your tank will be moved to and whether the aquarium can be moved in a straight line or will need to turn its direction to make its way into the new location. If you have to turn your aquarium, will you be able to maneuver it safely to its new location? Will you be able to safely and securely install a cover over the aquarium while it is being moved?

Before you begin your move, you should carefully remove any accessories and decorations from the tank.

If the tank is still warm, it may be a good idea to put the fish in the tank before you place it on the truck. It is important to have the tank in the shade or in a shaded area where it is not subject to direct sunlight.

If you follow the steps to safely moving your aquarium, you should be able to move it into a new home without any problems.
