Thank you MIKE! Between you and @vio I have seen some of the nicest SPS dominated SPS tanks. If you have any mini colonies you are considering selling, let me know and the wife and I will stop by Thanks again brotha!

It was mine too but this is why it's important to learn from others mistakes if possible. I think I should have done what I can to upgrade into a new tank or have another tank in my old apartment that I could have left the fish and coral in while setting this one up.

When you have a tank that is so mature, there will be some serious impact to your corals with during the move because of all that will die within your corals. It's just really hard to manage it all especially when you are doing all of this in a snow storm ha.

Oh man. I cant believe it. I been following along ur tank. Thats just sux. When u ready to build up i got Some stuff to share

Thank you sir! I appreciate that. Just keeping following because the goal is to come back stronger very very soon.

Sorry to hear this. I feel your pain tho. I recently moved myself and did a tank transfer in late November. Guess summer months are better for this sort of thing. Lol. Wasn't a total loss but I did Lose my 2 year old super male flame wrasse , blotchy anthias and pretty much all of my sps frags and a rainbow chalice. Tuff to bounce back from losses like this but I'm determined to make my reef a masterpiece again. Good luck!1

You can do it man! Yeah the corals do not like the huge temperature or PH change and they defiantly had that with the cold temperature and bio that got stirred up.

 

[Thatguy96]

wow man that setup was gorgeous. Model tank for sure. Tank moves are always rough but I guess you learnt some lessons from this. You'll bounce back.

Happy holidays. Man that naso is one gorgeous fish

If anything happened to the Naso I would have went nuts for sure. He is doing great and still eating out of my hands. Yes I learned a lot and hope others will too.

 

[Thatguy96]

Every time I move, I upgrade to a new, bigger tank which is usually setup and running at the new place

I totally agree with you and considered it but I wanted to save up for the future in wall 500 before we buy our home.

 

[Thatguy96]

Sorry for you bad experience.

I didn?t know Astoria has such awesome views of the city. I assumed somewhere along LIC. I was looking out your windows.

Ha ha yeah that was in my apartment in Long Island City facing the east river. I moved out to Astoria about 4 years ago. So this tank moved twice.

I not even comment , SUCKS .
Tell me how may help.

Thank you my friend you already helped a bunch with so many of your great suggestions Maybe I'll buy some of your beginner small colonies if you have any because I'm thinking SPS dominated this time around :thrash:

The Display refugium has been kicking butt!

 

[Thatguy96]

that's a shame beautiful tank same here if your ever in Howard beach queens I'll hook you up with some stuff but I'm mostly zoas and starting sps but got couple hammers

Thanks boss! I really do appreciate that!

 

[Thatguy96]

Same thing happened to me back in March when I moved to Pennsylvania,I haven't even started back up as yet......sorry for your loss

I definitely considered pulling the plug but most of my fish made it through the move because the heater worked for them and I just couldn't give the Naso away man! Love that fish.

Rashid, Nooooo! Damn, I'm so sorry to hear that. Your tank was insane! I mean one of the best I've seen in person. Your going to make it even better though this time around, especially if your wife is encouraging!
When I'm back from the holidays, I'll text you and I can hook you up with some frags for sure.

Hey guys so here is a quick update of the progress! First of all, I wanted to thank everyone who offered up some frags I really do appreciate it and it's nice to have such an awesome community willing to help out when **** hits that fan for a local reefer. A couple of positives from this experience is that I was able to totally redo my aquascape and get a lot more room in the tank. It created way better areas for water flow, depth and I have a lot more room for CORALS ha ha!

More pics to come on progress in the up coming weeks. I will also post this on my tank thread because I want to keep the progress going there too.

Happy holidays everyone!
