I will be going to college this fall and taking my 10 gallong aquairum with me. At best the trip will be 9 hours. I already will be able to get a styrafoam box with liner(I work at petsmart I can take one of theirs)but how can I adjust my fish to the new water conditions, I believe the water where I'm going is much softer then the water here which is very very hard. Any tips to help me out with this are greatly appreciated!!!!
 
ok what you need to do is transfer your fish in the original water there. You need to get a box put it on your floorboard ok in a box surround the box with towels to keep it still. Go buy the press and seal renald's wrap from walmart. press a seal at the top of your tank... or small container. pop holes in the top for air. We move our fish in our motor home all the time by putting the tank in the sink and doing the same thing. They do fine.
 
Take some of the current water you have with you to school. Start with 75% old water and 25% new. Do water changes weekly.
What kind of fish?
