Will moving a deep sand bed realese toxic gas?

Hi,
I have had a DSD for about 4 months now, and as i can see it has been accumulating small airbubbles in it. I have to bring the tank home in a about a week and i know it will be mixing the sand up quite a bit on the ride home. So i was wondering if this is going to release and gas that will hurt my fish?

 

The likelihood of a H2S zone in a 4 month old sandbed is virtually nill.

Regardless, you weren't planning on moving your tank with rock, sand, water, and fish in the tank were you?

 

Sorta...

I usually leave about 10 gallons in and the main base rocks. Its only a 2 hour drive. I put the corals in individual bags and i put the fish in a 5 gallon poland spring container with a heater and a airpump running through a power invterer..i also keep heaters in the two buckets with the corals. any better ideas?

 

Whew!!! You had me worried there.

I personally would remove most of the LR and put it in a bucket with more of the water and only keep enough water to barely cover the sand. However, if you have had success with it this way in the past, I guess it can be done.

 

Yea, i think im going to try and get all of the liverock in buckets. Thankfully i am graduating college so this will be the last time i have to do this.

 

Well,

Let me be the first 3Reefer to say CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

 

Congrats! My fiance grads in another year with her masters, then we can move finally!

 

Thanks and Thanks and congrats to your fiance!
