Default Help Needed

I just sold my house and will have to move out around 3rd week of March.

My new house will not be ready until may be sometime in April, 2007 or middle of May, 2007.

I have a 175 Gallons Tank with about 40 lbs of Live Rock, 40 gallons of sump, some live stocks.

I need to tear down my tank move into storage, and send my live stocks and live rocks for may be 2 months of fish sitting.

I did contact the LFS and one told me to call back around the time to see any room avaliable for the fish sitting, one has not response me yet and the other told me to get rid of the fish.

Any suggestions?

I will pay for the services.

Regards,
TC

I think he meant what livestock do you have that needs to be babysat? I was just about to ask the same thing actually. You thinking of having a tank setup specifically at someone's house or just absorb the livestock into their systems?

Indeed, that's what I meant! Are you wanting someone to take your whole system, or just plunk your rock/fish/corals/inverts/etc. into their existing tanks? And if so, what of the above do you have?

The livestock I have are as follows:

1 yellow tang
1 regal tang
1 Sailfin tang
2 crown fishes
4 green chromis
1 sea cucumber
1 brown-barred goby
5 hermit crabs
1 Brown brittle star

I need someone who can take care of my fishes and live rocks (in someone setup).

If not, I have to sell them and restart again.

Also, I have a lot of live aragonite sand that I might have to sell away.

Thanks,
TC

You are new to the board... welcome !

I've fish sat (one fish) for someone I know very well on the board.

Sounds like you have a major there and may have to shut it down and sell off.

Since, I can not find help for fish sitting, I think I have to start selling my live stock by early March.

1 yellow tang
1 regal tang
1 Sailfin tang
2 crown fishes
4 green chromis
1 sea cucumber
1 brown-barred goby
5 hermit crabs
1 Brown brittle star

Regards,
TC

I hope you don't have to see and do find someone to watch over your livestock.

If I was in Calgary I would it for you no problem!
