    so speaking from experience... the 150 is too big to take
    the 29 is a good one to take.

    I have hosted quite a few parties at my house and despite the plethora of drunk people constantly eyeing my tank, not one of them has ever attempted anything stupid around it. Since it looks so nice and expensive, they kinda keep their hands off

    You guys have a point.... I think I'm going to have to teach my mom how to ( get addicted) take care of it over the summer... :)


    I think is a good idea to just take my 29G...
    Less of a hastle until I see how things will be then I might consider my 150g. :)

    as for the sand.. Cab I take all of it? Or do I need to use new?


    And the anemone... If I'm going to have a minicycle how will I go about it?

    I guess what I'm trying to say is that if I'm taking my stuff won't it be like re starting?
    Then it won't be stable enough for an anemone? Or will it be ok?

    I dint think drunk people would be a problem because I will not allow any drunk/ smoker in my tank room...
    Or anywhere close.. ( honestly I hate anything that has to do with alcohol or getting high)

    but yeah.. 29 is the one to take.. Can't be without my fishies :)

    If you keep all of the rock/sand fully submerged in water, you shouldn't have any noticeable cycle. I would think you should be fine adding the anemone back into the tank. You should also make sure to keep the water the proper temperature too.
