Okay, we moved the tank and it's been a couple of months.
Physically moving the tank up each and every one of those twenty eight
stairs was a pain. But we did it.
The fish, well I underestimated how difficult it would be to get all of them
netted up and I only had one net... but we didn't lose any. Tell a lie, we
lost a Platy last week, but I don't think that was associated with the move.
:)
Thanks to everybody's help and tips. At the time and during the move, it
was a real pain (!) and I was considering leaving it behind to sell on, but
I'm glad we kept it. It looks great in the corner of our new living room!
