    Canned,

    Tell me what I can do to make your trip easy? I have a 450 gallon empty tub, etc.

    is Tri-cities, Wa forum.

     

    Holy moly this would be a god send! I was looking on craigs list for a small tank that I could set up and have ready to put things in but we dont have the money to buy anything right now! I would love to be able to have your help. I don't know just when we are moving! But it is a 90% chance after talking with my husband tonight that we are moving. He has to get his electrical liceanse transfered up there but he already has a interview for tomorrow and many resumes out! Our house is up for sale now but that doesn't mean we have to live in it until it sells! I was thinking it would be easiest to move coral and other critters first then rock then tank but didn't know where to put it all. I was going to buy rubbermaids but didn't want it all to stay in those long! If you have a way I can store things that would be great until the tank is up!! I will look at your forum and start chatting on there also! Thank you for the link!!

    Thank you all for the advice! My husband is up there now looking for housing and jobs. I can't set up the tank before hand because the tank is set up here! It is a 120 gal. I have a hippo tang, kole tang, maroon clown, perc clown, corris wrasse, dusky jawfish, yellow watchman, pistol shrimp, arch eye hawk fish, starry blenny, sally light foot, hermies, peppermint and cleaner shrimp, snails, sand sifting star and I may be missing someone but I don't think so. zoas, mushrooms, torch, frogspawn, hammer, birdnest, other lps and softies, plus many others I just cant think of, leathers. What about the zoas crawling up my tank. Do I just say oh well to those? They aren't anything special! I could probably get my 50 gal drum up there and start some salt before we move but that obviously wont fill the tank so do most LFSs have salt water you can buy? I know they have RO water. I will talk to my LFS first and see what they can help me with!*WINK WINK* you know who you are!! And I will start with rubbermaid tubs and the other suggestions. We wont be moving for at least a month at the minimum if not 3-4 months but I want to be prepared!! Thank you all again for your suggestions and keep them coming if you have anymore that havent been said yet! I know not everything will make it but I want to try my best to have as much as I can make it!!

    What is the farthest you have moved your tank and how did you go about doing it? We live in Central Oregon right now and we are having to short sale our house! I am very sad about this but in the process obviously we will have to eventually move! As there is no work for my husband in CO we are looking to move back to be near his family in the TriCities Washington. It is a 4 hour drive. Obviously I will have to have take down time and set up time added on to the 4 hours. I know most stock comes from somewhere else and is in bags for up to 24-48 hours! I know that isn't ideal and that isn't what I want to do but what is the best way to move a tank? I really don't want to get rid of any of my stock so I am looking for help! What should I do and how should I prepare to do it?

    Pods ID, Good, Bad, or Ugly?

    Looks like you have several things in there! Some looks like sponge, some look like filter feediers (like squirts) some look like snails and some look like pods. All good and no need to get rid of them. Pods are the only thing mandrins will eat. None of the others!

    I don't know about different species and what would be good! I do know that they have been known to break glass tanks before and that is why they are recommended to be in bigger tanks because the thicker glass. Or go acrylic!

    They need rock to hide in. Corals should be fine. They would do well in a small tank but MOST of the time you can't have anything else in there with it as it would kill it and eat it. I say most of the time because there is always that one person who will have one in a display tank and it doesn't touch anything. They are very cool!!
