Coral Sitters ?
 

Hey guys ... been a long time since I was on here as it was a busy summer for us ... our house is in the finishing stage ( should be ready end of October ) and I have still been anguishing over how to move it all ( since noone wants to buy my 300G :wink: )

So one thought was to see if there were any volunteers to coral-sit my corals for a month or so till we get settled in and I have a chance to setup my fish room again. That way I dont have to focus on getting my MH up and running immediately if it is just for fish

There is a combination of SPS, LPS and softies ... I am hopeing not to lose anything in this move and if my corals go into established tanks temporarily then I hope to avoid any problems.

If there are any volunteers it would be very much appreciated.

Cheers

What is your time frame for the sitting, Steve? My tank is not yet over-full...

:mrgreen:

Hey Steve, I could fit a few in my frag tank. I allready have some from other's in there anyway :lol:

250w 10k bulb on the frag tank.

cheers

Thanks guys ... I am thinking mid October to mid November at the longest ... I would like to think I can get the 300G filled up again within 24 hrs of pulling it out of the wall ... which means 2 weeks at best

This would be a HUGE favour to ask I know but it is the only thing I can think of to keep them alive till after the move as the 300G is going to be a monumental task to get out of my basement and into the new house.

Thanks again and I will contact both of you to see how many we can fit in those tanks of yours.

If anyone else has some space please let me know as I am sure that those 2 tanks wont be able to hold them all unfortunately ... there is a LARGE green BTA and a RBTA as well that need a temporary home.

I will be setting up a temporary tank for the fish when I move as there is no easy way to remove fish from a established tank so fish-sitting I dont think is a option ... there I will have to be carefull and take my chances.

Cheers

Steve,

I have some room in my 120 gallon..... I can sit a few corals for you.

Thanks Jim ... the more the merrier :mrgreen:

Steve,

I've got 250w DE over my main tank (204g) and 150w DE over my sump (180g).
You're welcome to come over and scout out my tanks for some free spaces. :smile:

Steve, I'm just curious but would your BTA and RBTA be OK in your temorary tank with your fish?

Thanks Mitch ... I will do that ... I appreciate it.

The trick is that I only have MH over my tank right now ( 4 X 400W 10K ) and if I can get rid of the sun-lovers temporarily then I can rig up a temporary VHO solution while the 300G is still running ( fish only ) and then move my MH over to the new house and get it wired up so that when I move the tank and sump I can slide them right under the MH and fire it all right back up again.

That was the idea anyway
