![]() I haven't a clue what went wrong. Like we normally do when we move we separate the fish from the corals, and the rock. Large fish, and small groups of smaller fish, are separated into 5g buckets, and they are the last things out of the tank, and the first into car.
We got to our destination and we opened all the buckets and they were just laying on the bottom. At first we thought they were playing dead, and then we realized that chromis don't play dead... |

![]() Thats strange, we just moved my 110 gal into the new house and the fish were in a 5gal bucket for a good 4 hours, with the shrimp lobster and all! I just put the airstone in every once in a while for a short time and that was that. I think the mistake was taking the fish out last, I took the fish out before I even touched the liverock or disturbed the sand (which I believe let out a crap load of nitrates and trapped dead stuff) another advantage of taking the fish out first is you get to fill the bucket right away of clean same temp tank water.
