Hey Brad my meetings end at 4:30 in Sidney so I will be there did you still need the buckets?

Cheers
Tyler

Brad, you have me all day wednesday if needed...

K, anyone that wants to show up, the more the merrier. I have arranged to rent 20 5g bottles from the water store, so I should be good for buckets.

OK, move is done, thanks to Steve, Adam, Tyler and Jason for their help. Everything went great, only damage was from me trying to get the fish out. Moved the tank with all rock and corals intact, water out and back in within 30 minutes. Whew.

Wow talk about your quick move. Glad to hear everything went well :biggrin:

Ya, it went reasonably well. the tangs didn't want to leave the tank, so we drained it to an inch of water and picked them out. The white cheek was tough, but we managed to corral him into an opening.
I think one clown and the chromis stayed in the tank for the ride to the new place. Most of the acros slimed up a lot from being out of water for the ride, but after a few hours, they look fine (albeit slimey). Only issue I've got so far is the tank is slightly uneven, so I may have to address that at my next (BIG) water change!

whats this water change stuff you keep talking about?

Steve

Far out, that is fast. Good job, hope everything recovers (they ought to, man, I've done water changes that lasted longer than that).

So you moved tank with the the rock structure and corals in the tank still? I didn't realize you could do that, I would have thought it would be too heavy to carry.

Same here :mrgreen:

We all thought he was out of his mind at first but it went off without a problem. It's only a 70G tank with no sand so the weight wasn't too bad. Of course Brad and Tyler were the ones carrying it most of the time so who am I to say. I am impressed though that all the rock and corals stayed in tact without any damage. It took me like 8 hours to move my 70G and it's contents.

ok lets clear the 30 min up, I think that is a shorter time than it actualy was..

we emptied the tank and then spent 15 min to catch the two damn tangs in 1" of water.

we loaded up, about 10 to 15 min, then drove to his new place. another 15 min. then we unloaded ...15 min and started dumping water back in say 5 min.

so I would gues the actual "dry" time was about 1 hour which is still fast concidering we moved it 1/2 way across town in 3 vehicals.

Steve

All in all I think it went well, and quick. I think Brad found a new way to frag. First you drain tank then chase fish around and break peices off as you go. Or just get Steve to push on the rock. :mrgreen:

Cheers
Tyler

Hey now :eek: if I didn't test the stability of that rock, which resulted in one frag, it could have wiped the whole tank out the way Brad drives :mrgreen:
