Ok, everything is finalized. Moving will be 16th-17th of october for us and then we will be doing the fish tanks on the 18th. So probably before noon we will get going on that. I know it's in the middle of the week but if anyone would like to provide some extra hands we would be grateful. PM me for number/addresses etc. Thanks for all the support everyone! Can't wait to get going on the next set up!

Hmm... just in time for me to be in the market for a tank that size... Sorry to see it go, Jorge!

Is there any other way? Just be smart and only feed from the trap for several days. I'd only stand there after some fresh food was added. Usually an hour or two a day.

I've never fed mine directly and it's gone from 1 single head to 50 plus in a year and a half.

My trap would work but is likely a bit small. It's from marinedepot.com and they sell a bigger one for $50. I took about 15 fish out of my 75g mostly sps reef recently because I caught ich. Managed that in 3 days with the trap baited with rods and pellets.

We've had 10 showings in the 3.5 days we've been listed. The offer on the new place was accepted as long as we sell in the next week or two which looks more than likely. October 16th is the tentative close date so probably moving shortly after that. We are exhausted already. Spent 4 days in Santa Cruz with the family this week on vacation so coming back to this madness has been fun. Oh well, got to surf the hook and capitola!

Looks like a lot of fun. My wife and I would like to go but will be prepping our house for sale this weekend. We hope you all have a great time and hopefully we can make the next one!

Cody (paratore) taught me that trick actually. It does work well. Unfortunately the sps (and thats the majority of my coral) are encrusted and we will break a lot of it. Luckily I bought a ton of 27g totes so this should be pretty easy. The good news is that broken sps just means free frags! :p

Well we are putting our first (and hopefully last) bid on a place today. Our house gets listed on Tuesday so as soon as it sells we are moving! I anticipate in the next 30 days. I will keep you all posted. This next house is huge. Definitely going to have room for a fish room but might need to finish a bit of the huge unfinished basement area for it. Upgrading to a 150g extra high. 48x24x31.

Absolutely amazing. I was going to say that vlamingi just follows you around.

Well, I agree with all that! I fully expect shenanigans. Coral is gunna get smashed, we are most likely going to kill some things. That said, just having some extra hands that have adequate respect for the gear/livestock is going to make all the difference. If we can get 2-3 people over then this should be a cinch. We have the one truck which should be enough to move all the big stuff. I'm going to go buy another dozen Home Depot buckets and lids so hopefully that will be enough. I'm interested in the totes but it seems like they would be too heavy. Any input Mrk13p? We don't drink and would cook dinner for all involved but new house and all. I hope pizza, soda and a couple frags are payment enough! (Cash is obviously easier and I'd be more than happy to comp for gas and time if that is what you would like to receive for the help.) I look forward to spending some time with anyone that wants to come check it out. You'll be the last ones to see the current incarnation of the tanks before the move and transition into a bigger system. Sean - It's a big drive but we'd love to have you! Your insight and positive attitude are always welcome. Miles - We haven't spoken too much but I know you're a super solid guy in this club and hobby and we would be grateful for your participation. Plus it'd be nice to get to know the more local reefers better. Mark - Thank you for the offer. I might very well take you up on it. Always comforting having another vet in stressful situations like this. I'll keep you informed, I hope you're in country when it happens!

I really appreciate it everyone. It's going through really fast so I'll keep you posted. It's very kind of you all. I actually just redid the plumbing with fancy schedule 80 so it'll disassemble easily. Gotta love unions! Also the tanks are fallow due to an ich outbreak. They're all in QT so that'll be easy. By the time we move the 76 days will be just about over so hopefully no risk to you all but you can never be too careful.

Hello everyone! Well, my wife and I and our 3 children have officially outgrown our current home so we're selling it and buying a much larger one out in west Salem. We're hiring movers so the move shouldn't be too much of an issue. Obviously they are not moving the reef tanks. I've never moved while doing this hobby. I have a 75g and a 40b running off the same large sump and I'm going to have to move this all across town. They are both loaded up with livestock and I don't really want to have to repurchase it all if I get the fish store involved. Any advice you guys and gals have would be most welcome. Perhaps some personal stories of your own tank moves would be helpful! I know most of you are quite a ways away from Salem but I'd be more than happy to compensate some help come moving day! As it is it's going to just be the wife and I, it might be better to enlist some muscle. We will be moving in the next 1-3 months when we find the next house. Fish room here I coooooooooooome!

Flash, If it's a couple days then I'll give them a free days pay for a tip. Like I said though, we have a big dog that can be a lot of work. Depends on if you want to use them again. I tip anyone that performs a service like that though.

Glad that worked out. Your puppy is adorable!

Obviously going to vary but my wife and I have been hiring sitters through rover.com when we leave. We have a registered German Shepherd that can't always come with us so we have a sitter we use. Super cheap and easy to use and they've always done a great job. Good luck!

The more accurate one so the usb from what I gather.

I converted my attached 40b frag tank into a nem tank a couple months ago. There's other nems but about a dozen RFA's including ~4 ultras. I'm really looking forward to them breeding because that was the intention behind seeding so many to begin with. I'll have to get some shots up on here. I love rock flowers! They're probably my biggest fixation right now.

Can I get back on this list? I was on a bit of a hiatus but my light and tank modifications are all done so I"d like to proof them with an actual PAR meter.

Knew I shoulda snagged that yellow one. It was still coloring up when I was there for the rock nems, wasn't it? :(

Thanks Holly! Glad to have some time to get back on here. School and 3 kids has kept my wife and I pretty swamped for the last 6 months or so. Excited to post some updates, especially on the 40b attached frag tank that was converted into an anemone tank. That's where these beauties went!

Thanks for the nems, Jeff! It was a real pleasure coming up and scoping out the store. That fungia really is out of control and I'm surprised it's still there. That Red Sea Reefer is out of control too. See ya next time!

Misogyny is an unattractive trait in a person. You should stop.

I'm glad to see your findings showing some teeth here on our local forums. I've been looking into it since you tipped me off on it but this is a good control experiment. If it works for him I want to be sure I'm buying the exact same product from the exact same source. I have a feeling I'll probably be ordering some before the week is out.

Where did you source it? Glad to hear there is some progress. Do you have other macro? How is it doing?
