My new 110g set up just started

Since I will most likely have to move to the mainland of Spain (about 60 miles west of Barcelona), I am hesitant to put anything else in my tank. My lfs would of course overcharge me for the move... any ideas how any of you moved your tank and inhabitants? This is not going to happen for another month or so but I want to be prepared. Right now I only have 2 b&w clowns in there and about 8 corals. Shipping the livestock would only take about 8 hours but first I have to fix my house over there. Any suggestions are more than welcome!!!!

 

I used Styrofoam coolers and double bagged everything. It worked well.
Plenty of threads on moving out there:

Thanks so much Matt.. I will look into it. Btw. still waiting for my chiller and new ph probe and the guy to come out to connect the ethernet module.... I am SOOOOO frustrated!!!! Hopefully I will find another lfs on mainland Spain... this is just too much! Also still waiting for my moonlights... again after 1 year!!!!! Unbelievable!!!

 

I assume there would be even more options close to a major city like Barcelona

good luck with the move Pelado - how far will you be travelling?
remember most of the things we have , spent a lot of time in polystyrene crates and polybags on their 1st trip accross the globe in many cases

keeping the rock wet is key , if you have a battery air pump, and some large tubs, you can keep the rock like that for the journey and not lose much of your bacteria

yeah im with steve. the only thing id ever be concerned with moving is the cured live rock.

good luck with the move. as others have mentioned, i am sure you'll find some better LFS' on the mainland. in fact, I HOPE YOU DO! a year for anything you've ordered is absurd.

 

Thanks guys! I will not be moving for another month or so. Today the lfs guy FINALLY came to install the moonlights and I got a chiller now. So, I feel pretty comfortable about leaving ... 'cause tomo I am going there (about 7 hours by ferry) to start cleaning up (it's a mess since the lady who used to live there passed away last year and it has been vacant ever since). So, a LOT of work... the property is over 60k sqf. I will certainly miss my tank but have a very reliable friend who will come every day to take care of it. So, all is good!

 

You won't believe this but the guy came yesterday to install the ethernet module and the moonlights. Plus he finally brought the chiller..... but just take a look at the pics of the moonlight for my 110g... just rediculus!!!!

 

...plus he f..up my pc while trying to configure the ethernet module....
I can't wait to find another lfs!!!!!! This guy is a true rip-off but since I live on an island, there are only 2 lfs and one only carries fresh water...

 

OMG.. I can not believe that you waited an entire year for that light fixture, which IMO does no justice for your tank.

 

Fo real tho. You need to get a refund or some sort of compensation.
