grassi Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 We signed for the new house and we should get the keys on monday. I need to move the tanks. Unfortunately I can't do it during the weekend, because we need to leave the old place before then. I need some help for moving the tanks and livestock. I need a couple of storage tanks, like the big rubbermaid. Either borrow or buy. I need some heaters and powerheads for a couple of days. The new house is only a couple of miles from the current location and it is on Alberta St in Portland. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Alex we probably have some powerheads you could borrow. We borrowed a big rubbermaid from Isaac. We have the cheaper ones too if you can't find anything better. Moving tanks is no fun. Just sell all your stuff and start over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grassi Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 Thanks to all of you guys! I will set up the tanks in a temporary location in the basement. Later on I will upgrade the display, probably it is gonna be inwall. Smann, I accept your offer! I think with a few 50g rubbermaid I will be set. I'm gonna leave the rock and corals in the rubbermaid for a day or two, while I re-plumb the system. I'll send you a pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grassi Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 My system was moved thanks to Brandon (lewisthefisherman) and Kris. They were amazing and I wouldn't be able to do it without them. All the big sps colonies were intact. One of the 4 temporary tanks we set up had problems and I lost all the sps and lps that were in there. I lost my most loved chalices: a 25 eyes Oregon Mummy Eye, a 20 eyes Bazooka Joe, a 10 eyes Miami Hurricane and a few more. It happened in a few hours, so I didn't have time to fix the issue, because we were moving the rest of the tanks. Probably it was a temperature issue. I saved all the rest of the corals that were in that tank and they are looking good, including the grow out ones. It was a sad day and me and Jamie really thought about quitting for a while. We grew the chaliches from a tiny frag and they were Jamie's favs. We decided to keep the corals and to rebuild our chalices collection. Hopefully we are gonna stay in this new home for a while. Thank you again Brandon and Kris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you again Brandon and Kris Well that sucks Alex. They almost start feeling like children when you grow them up from that size. We don't usually get to that point because Beth can't stay away from the band saw and I can't resist my capitalistic tendancies! I've got a frag of OME I can give you a killer deal or trade. I also have a Miami hurricane that we could frag. My bazooka joe is just a super slow grower but it's getting there. When it gets to a decent size. I will keep you in mind. I'm glad you didn't let the setback discourage you and make you give up. The forum would not be the same without you and Jamie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
