moving........ -_-

When I moved I put all my coral and fish into a 29g temporary tank as well. I used a HOB filter as well as HOB skimmer that I had laying around. For the new tank I used all new water brought to the same levels as my old water and had no problems.

I thought of mixing up 60g of new water but I think I may try to just save 20-40g from my tank in some buckets. Anyone got any buckets like a bunch :P

The problem normally lays in stirring up the sand and any thing left in your live rock. That might cause a mini cycle that's why new water is good.
Make sure you put your fish and corals (depending on your corals) in a separate holding area.
Good luck with the move.

Lucky I have no sand bed thanks though, I'm going to need some new water, but will try to keep some as well

I can lend you a 65 gallon tank if you want...I am in wetaskiwin
that should hold enough water for you

[Nano]

Wow didn't know there were any other wetaskiwinites here lol. That's ok Bob, thanks though, I won't have room for a tank that size right now. Next weekend I can start moving in so I will do the tank first get it off my back and then move the rest. I'm just going to end up tearing it down, (my nice plumbing...) And then putting every thing in the 29 plus whatever can't fit ie live rock from the sump will go in a tub for the day with a powerhead and heater. Pain in the butt hop all goes "swimmingly"

so I am moving the tank this weekend, i have the temporary tank ready to go, filter heater and a large frag rack to hold all corals so i can play with the rocks in the main tank with out worry. now, since the tank will be dry (so to speak) for a bit, I am thinking of popping off the black bracing and going rimless.. now the tank is 24x24x15 with 3/8" glass, so in theory it should be fine. however its just an idea at this point, and I had thought of it originally when setting up the tank, but decided against it. SOOO, i am asking for opinions & experiences with it and if I do go this route, I may even consider cutting some glass bracing for a less obtrusive appearance. opinions welcomed

thanks
