so the move was a pain in the a**

everyone who was supposed to help bailed on me and so the fish ended up staying in buckets for a bit to long and i lost a few fish and got mad and threw a light into the trailer and broke it.... ya i know the light was my fault, ended up calling up a good friend of mine and he rushed out to come and help me move the 2 bigger tanks. He was kind enough to come to my new house as well and help set up the two bigger tanks. i moved all the water in 55 gallon drums and the fish from my 90g breeder freshwater tank were moved in one of the 55 gallon drums (i wasnt worried about them because they'll take air from the surface if they have to)

all the tanks are now up and somewhat running, my 90 gallon did good as i lost no fish but had a close call with a parrot fish (i wanted it to die... they're ugly) but it pulled through overnight

my 72 bowfront mixed reef tank was the one that caused me the most problems, i ended up losing 2 clownfish that i just bought about a week ago and a blue throat trigger that ive had for 2 years

from the looks of things my sps frags are not going to make it but all my softies in my biocube handled the move just fine

i also found my missing neon blue goby that was hiding in my sump, but it died aswell... no big loss, i thought it was dead anyways

good news is i found about 5 1" white bubble tip anemones hiding in the liverock in my reef tank


oh ya, and my uv sterilizer on the 72 decided to start leaking and its plumbed inline with hardline which means i have to replumb the whole system in order to get my sump up and running, but for now i have an ac110 and an aqua c remora hob skimmer

That really sucks, but it could have been worse, that's a lot of fish/fish paraphenalia to have to move without help, when we helped my brother move there was 4 of us. Hopefully there will be no more casualties.
