So I decided to start a new thread since this is no longer a 15g and we can't change the titles on threads any more <_<

I moved from West Palm Beach to Texas last month and combined corals from 3 tanks (15g, 10g and 40g)

I chose to keep my most prized corals as I knew that restarting and finding what I have had for years would probably not happen in Texas.

The move was very stressful, I packed everything in 2 large plastic bins, I lost a few fish and corals due to the temp swings that were hard to control almost 3 days on the road in the back of my hatchback. Most everything was very stressed when I finally set the tank up, but everything is starting to recover nicely. Hopefully I will be able to set up a true nano again soon :)



nice!

Thanks Jacob! :)

 

Nice to see the new tank. So is this livestock that made the move? You moved, right? I get threads mixed up sometimes. :D

Yep this is it...the only new thing I have bought here in TX is a yellow coris wrasse to replace my 6line that died in the move :(

I've got plenty of tanks, but only one has water in it. I call it my "glass box of algae that is barely suitable for $3 damsels desite the expensive pair off clownfish barely existing in it because I haven't done a water change if god knows how long" tank. Its kind of a mouth full.....

 

 

 

 

Insert "that's what she said" joke.....

Looks so good Maria! I went through a move last month also(GA to CO - 1500 miles, 3 days/2 nights). I didn't have the guts to bring my corals/fish with me so I got a "sitter" and had them shipped after I cycled. :D Glad to see things up and running with minimal losses! This is going to grow in so nicely.

Awesome! Tank looks great and so do all the corals. Those Rics are huge!

Thanks guys! I have had the rics for a long time...I have traded many of the pink and blues over the years as they split.

I hear ya about the move, it was very nerve racking...I wish I could have shipped but that would be $$ and I spent to much on the move itself.

Good luck on the transfer! I lived in Westminster, CO for 3 years...you will love it there!
