I've just got a quick question. I'm a college student in New Hampshire (my house in Maine is about 4-5 hours away) and I'm looking to start up a brichardi colony next semester. My only concern (other than the rule that we can only have 10G tanks in the dorm rooms, which I'm working on =P) is having to move the fish from point A to point B each time I go home for an extended period of time (Thanksgiving, Christmas, spring break, summer vacation).
I was thinking that the easiest way to do this would be to have 2 tanks set up; one at home and one at school. My question is how would I keep the tank that the fish aren't currently in established? Would moving the filter and a few rocks with the tank be enough to avoid having to wait for it to cycle each time? Should I have someone at home start dosing ammonia a week or two before I return? Any suggestions are appreciated!
