Hello fellow NYC Reefers. I was hoping for some guidance on what to do with my tank during my move this upcoming month. I've had a Fluval Evo for 1.5 years and have finally reached a point of stability. It's loaded with coral that are all healthy and growing including SPS. After 2 years in my current location the rent has been raised too high for me to continue living here. I am now on the hunt for a new apartment (preferably in north Brooklyn) but rent is pretty damn high right now and the more affordable apartments have a very competitive application process. I fear that I may not be able to find a suitable place by June 1st when my lease ends and may need to live for a few months in a family friends apartment where I would not be able to keep my tank. Would it be possible to board my fish and coral at an LFS until I am able to find a new place and set up a new tank? Perhaps a friendly local reefer maye be able to help? I have 2 clown fish, 1 exquisite firefish, 1 wheelers goby, a fire shrimp, a sexy shrimp, a pistol shrimp, an emerald crab, pom pom crab and multiple trochus, astraea, nassarius and bumblebee snails + a sand sifting star. I have a bunch of coral as well but would be happy if I could at least retain my prized leathers, SPS, euphyllia, favia and blastos. Everything else is up for grabs. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Also, if I wind up finding a suitable apartment, any guidance on moving an aquarium would be appreciated.
