Moving tanks

[Delphinus]

Thank you all for the comments. The move is not until April (we're building the house) so there is time to plan this out (or more realistically, there is time to second-guess myself a LOT... )

The tanks, and their ultimate fate, are definitely a source of .. ah ... "interesting topics of debate" in my household as the weeks go on.

There are definitely some things I really am very sentimentally attached to (fish, anemone[s]). But in all I think there probably really is too much to try and move without seriously testing the limits of friendships. So I guess in the next little while I will probably have to make some decisions...

Even if I tore-down the SPS tank though, and put the fish into the ritteri tank (even temporarily) I don't think I can put two Zebrasoma's (desjardini and a flavecens) into one 72g tank ... don't know how I'll work that issue yet. Maybe one will have to be babysat somewhere else for a few weeks. Would sure hate having to impose upon the fish though the ordeal of being caught more than once...

I do appreciate all the comments though. Knowing that others have gone through this or are considering it themselves is somehow a little reassuring. I'm pretty sure any move will be nightmarish but as long as the nightmare can be manageable .......

PS. Thanks for the offer, Jonathan! It's a pretty safe bet I'll be hitting you up for that favour...
