Thinking of moving soon. best way 2

[pclittlereefcreations]

I am thinking of moving out to a different house in less then two months from now and the house is about thirty minutes away. The thought of moving is stressful, but the thought of moving my tanks is worst. All I keep thinking is "How am I going to move my tank without anything dying" right now I have nothing in the tank but by the time I move I should have a few corals. What is the easiest way to move all the water and corals from one place to another without losing anything and causing the coral any harm?

1- How should I package the water in the tank?
2- The best way to transport the fish and coral.
3- How should I put the fish and coral back in water?
4- Do I need to let the water sit for a few hours before I put fish back?
5- Did anything bad ever happen when you moved your tank?

Please tell me your moving story, so we can learn how to move our fish, coral and tanks without any loses.

Reason for the move, house has lead paint above drop ceiling and it's making my kids sick. It is causing my little girl to have seizures, Not Good

Thanks

I would give the fish to a LFS throw the tank out, and move today.

with all due respect the least of your problems is the tank and coral ditch it all and get the hell out of there now

That post is saddening. Seriously Pc, :bunnies: the fish and take care of your daughter. Ditch the fish and just move. You can buy new fish.

Hope you're little girl is ok after the move .

Get out today. "F" the fish... Your daughters life is what's important!!!

Hotel if nessary.

Aside from that. Find the person that sold you the house and beat the "S" out of him! Then find the inspector that reviewed the house and sue him for everything he's got!

Get out today!

If you need people to hold your live stock till you get setup, let us know... We will all be happy to chip in...

Not good is an understatement.

Please don't be concerned with the fish and livestock, I can guarantee that noone will flame you if you simply walk away from it all. If it has reached the point of seizures for your daughter please don't "think" about moving, please get out five minutes ago.

It is possible to clean up the residence and make it safe again. However it turns out I wish the best to you and your family.

And if you really are looking to move your tank and inhabitants with you in your move... http://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum...ng-suggestion-moving-tank-bronx-pocono-s.html
