I sold my tank. I am going to be doing a lot of traveling in the next two
years and dont have time to take care of a tank. So I was wondering if
someone might answer a few questions.

The person picking up the tank wants to transfer the fish using buckets. The
fish are a large Pleco, Mollies, swords, tetra;s, cichlids and a couple of
other fish. I know to transefer them in the water from the tank. When she
puts the tank back together on her end, what is the reason she needs to use
some of the same water the fish are coming out of? I need to be able to
explain it to her.

The time from removing the fish from the tank to getting them back in the
tank is probably going to be 2-3 hours. Is this OK, or is she going to have
to figure something out faster? She lives about 20 miles from me and will
have to set up the tank before putting the fish in, she doesnt have another
tank. This is her first tank.

Anything else I need to know?

TIA
