Moving to a new house

Hi

This is not an emergency yet. I am moving into a new house in about a month. I have a 75g tank 90lbs of live rock many corals and a fish. I have been in contact with the local stores some of them can do the job some can’t, after listen to their methods to move, I believe I can do it myself I just need a few transportation boxes, plastic bags and water containers.

Any suggestions comments or concerns will be well accepted

Thank you

 

I just moved my tank and I would definitely recommend read Coral Reefer's 3Reef article on tank moving. Some important points, I found:
- have plenty of salt water made up and ready to go at the new house.
- plan out well in advance where the tank is going to go...make sure there are enough outlets nearby!
- think about how you're going to move hunks of live rock that have corals attached to them.
- you might want to consider having a quarantine tank set up for your fish (and maybe corals) until the water in your display tank clears up.
- make a list! i had a clip board of steps number 1 through 73 on how i wanted the move and reassembly to go. I even remembered to occasionally look at it in the chaos and panic of the move.

Good luck and hope this helps!

 

Thank you

I will search for the post in the forums. I have a 10g quarantine tank but i don't think it can hold all the corals and fish. I was planning to use some of those Rubbermaid containers for the rock and some foam to t wrap the corals with elastic and then place them in other container full of saltwater until the tank is ready. i have seen this method at the local store when they receive the shipping’s.

As per my fish for sure I’ll have the quarantine tank up and running.

Based on my experience of moving recently and breaking down and setting up the tanks agin in my new house, my experience, trial and errors should offer you some insight and knowledge!
