Whether you are moving around the corner or to a different city, moving is a busy, stressful time. You shouldn’t have to concern yourself about the hassle of moving your fish tank. A move can be as simple as relocating an aquarium to one floor from another in the same house or from one side of the province to another.
Moving is hard on aquarium livestock. When moving or relocating an aquarium, we have a number of procedures and recommendations that will minimize the stress to livestock and ensure that the transition is seamless. We will completely dismantle your tank and set it up for you. You do not have to worry about any of it.
We suggest booking your aquarium’s move with us weeks ahead of moving day. At that time, we can
outline the recommended preparation procedures that will ensure a smooth move for your aquarium. This is not something to leave until the last minute.
