I saw those there but until I get my upgrade salty I just don't have any room for anything.

I didnt have much room before either.....but a bunch of my coral went on its northern migration which freed up a bunch of space in the 25g..... at $25 a nem and one blue and another blueish one, I just couldnt walk away empty handed.....Laurie's a sucker for maxi-minis so I will likely give them to her for her collection

Well I'm sure you'll have plenty of room once you finish filling up the new tank

While that may be true, I have a strict "no nem" rule for my big tanks..... After having one BTA turn into dozens in V1, no nem will make it anywhere near my SPS

bittersweet feeling ATM.....Laurie was in town for the long weekend and we had a great w/e....zoo, fish stores, shopping and visiting my family and then I tore down the small tank and sent everything left in the tank with Laurie, to Edmonton....I still had a couple wee small tuxedo urchins, 4 maxi mini nems, some ricordia, three feather dusters, my clash of the titans favia, a dozen assorted snails, 2 pom pom crabs, a sexy shrimp, 2 trimma gobies, a chromis, a starry blenny, a pygmy possum wrasse and my blue assessor....the mass exodus has begun.....very strange to see the tank sitting empty.....sounds like everything has made the trip ok,(Laurie is acclimating and placing stuff as I type this) so that is good......now its just the big tank that needs to be moved......gosh this moving tanks three hours away to a different city is stressful

......

I hear ya. Tearing tanks down and moving are not fun things on their own - combined is a lot to deal with
You'll be OK once you make the final move and are able to focus on your new environment

well the last move I did of this tank was a complete disaster, I sure hope you guys are right

.....Ive been try to move things up there in small doses and so for the strategy has worked out (for the most part)......

the small tank is completely shut down and all the parts are cleaned and ready to be moved.....all of my SPS will be making the move this w/e.....this makes me nervous.....they have to make the bagging process and then the three hour drive to Red Coral E-town, where they will be babysat by Steve until the big tank is ready for them (thanks again Steve!) .....

Lucky you

With a temp home things have to go well

Keep voicing your thoughts ( good for the soul ), but stop stressing ... you know what you are doing

It was a fun weekend, must say though I didn't think it would take 3 hours to acclimate and move over all your fish, inverts and coral into my tanks once I got home. Glad that's over with and they are all doing well.

Don't worry hun I'm involved with this tank move so of course it'll go well

But yes a huge thanks to Steve at Edmonton Red Coral, without his help this move might of never happened
