TOWELS????? Hadn't thought about that, LOL. Thanks Doni!

Well I guess you are off the hook then Scott...

Just need a plane ticket! If I plan this right, the move will be over before I arrive and I can just enjoy all your work! Good luck...

Lisa moving

?? battery powered air and water pumps? premixed sw, advil,liquor and Dr Phil? I dont envy you that task but my best wishes are yours. Steve

Best of luck to 'ya Lisa! Don't think of it as work, think of it as a remodeling, an opportunity to make it better, and most of all have fun! Looking forward to the results.

Thanks guys and gals. The 90 gal has been successfully moved. It was not one of the easier things I've done, LOL. It is set up and re"scaped". Well... mostly. I have some pics which I will post tomorrow. Bad news is, I still have 2 more tanks to move. Good news is that they are WAY smaller.

bluespotjawfish · 04-26-2007, 03:26 AM

Glad to hear the move went well. The small ones will be a walk in the park ~ just a fun adventure!

Dentoid · 04-28-2007, 12:43 AM

I guess you are well into your move. Miss you! Post when you can.

lcstorc · 04-28-2007, 01:42 PM

Good luck with the move. Hopefully you won't have to do it again anytime soon. Very nice of your lfs to help out. You are obviously a very good customer.

Dentoid · 05-10-2007, 11:23 AM

Not much activity here! How did the move go? How's the tank? Haven't seen much of you around, everything a-ok?

Dentoid · 05-12-2007, 12:25 AM

Did you move in with Wolfy and decide not to talk to us anymore?

Dentoid · 05-12-2007, 12:31 PM

Were's Sunshine!

saltwaterfarm · 05-12-2007, 01:29 PM

ROFLMAO... OK. I have been super busy. I got the 90 moved and I'm really not happy with the way it is scaped. BUT... since I like you, Scott, I'm gonna go ahead and post some pics of the move...

If you have followed this thread from the beginning you will find a little irony in this...

And here are a few shots of the MESS!!!

Move1.JPG
Move 2.JPG
Move3.JPG

Basically we took a bunch of coolers that my LFS receives their shipments in. We put large trash bags in them. The ForceFlex ones worked really well...
Filled the coolers/bags up with water and seperated the corals accordingly so that there would be no warfare going on during the move. We put the rock in coolers as well. Made sure that it was plenty wet and then we drained the rest of the water from the tank. With the exception of enough to keep the sand bed completely covered. We left the sump/refugium inside the stand for the move and drained it fairly low. Fish were put in 5 gal buckets filled with water. I used all of the original water except for about 40'ish gallons. But, it needed a water change anyway, lol.
I must say it was a challenge moving that 90 with over 120lbs of sand and however much water was still left in it. I, needless to say, was pretty sore for a few days.
