The Move

The move to Marshfield, Fish were placed in 100 gallon tub while the tank, stand, canopy and sumps were moved and then the next day the fish and rock were transported.









Reset up temporary 100 gallon tub for fish that were transported in styrofoam containers and live rock in trash bin filled with water

 

I decided it was time to drill the tank and ditch the cpr overflow. I made an overflow box and drilled the tank for two 1 inch bulkheads.

 

Transport of all fish, corals and rock to Marshfield and setting up in the temporary tub again, drilling tank, setting tank backup, stacking live rock and getting all electrical hooked up and everything else besides lighting and the canopy took me 20 hours straight.

Finally all rock and fish tank back in the tank.

The canopy and lights back on the next day.


Did have one accident following the move, my long tentacled anemone walked himself into a Koralia 3 while I was away moving other things. I received a call and the pump was turned off into I got back. I had to cut a little bit of plastic and he was free. He seems to have recovered.



The next set of pictures are from two weeks after moving the tank.

Very nice. Glad everything made it.

 

Very nice tank. What was that fish that moved too quick to get a good look but I think it's maybe a mimic tang? It had a yellow stripe on it's tail fin.

 

I think it is a mimic from the brief look. and a good specimen at that. i have nto had good success with those.

great looking tank. im impressed at the currents you have created.
