Hey guys,
I am considering relocating and am trying to figure out the best way to move the aquariums.
The tank in question is a 180 gal eurobraced. It had a bunch of sps mini colonies which makes this a bit more of a challenge.
I was thinking of different ways of doing this and came up w the following tentative plan.
1. Move my water change station to the new location and make fresh water.
2. Purchase the black feed tub (110 gallons or similar) and move the fish and base rock into it.
3. Use another similar tub or a 40 breeder for corals as a temp holding tank.
4. Use a ton of 5 gallon buckets w lids to keep as much of the original water as I can.
5. Break down the DT and move it into the new location and dump the 5 gallon buckets into the tank at least partially filling it.
6. Move the rocks and corals and fish in these 5 gallon buckets and place into tank ASAP.
That's the gist of it, any suggestions are welcome and if it happens, the move may be maybe 30 miles
