FiRsT-aNd-LaSt Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 The tank is looking nice, great job for a move, I just moved last month from Clovis, now in Prescott, AZ, but I got rid of most of my stuff before I came out so my move wasn't to bad. Link to comment

rvadub Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I moved a 30 gallon tank from va to co. Bought a power inverter and had a full on running tank in the back of my suv. Something is not right when you hear a working fish tank and your driving haha. Link to comment

Something is not right when you hear a working fish tank and your driving haha. LOL, that's awesome though! For that distance there's really no other choice! I my most recent love, I transported my fish via an Igloo Playmate ice-chest. I threw in a large piece of rock that wasn't going to move around, so they'd have somewhere safe to hide incase they felt so inclined to. It was only an hour car ride though. Link to comment
stef Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I moved my tank twice, always an adventure, u did a great job. I drove mine around for an our. The coral's seemed 2 like the wavebox-effect of me driving. Rockwork is nice CG! Link to comment

Cali-girl Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hey everyone! Haven't posted lately, been super busy. The tank is still going and strong. I've had some problems regulating temps since the move to hotter weather but I think I've got it under control at this point. Anytime the lights are on, an extra fan comes on too. So no matter what the temp is outside it works well enough so it stays within the right range. I also have come to the realization that i had to break down and get my own RO/DI system. Living in Orange County it was super easy for me to just go down the street and fill up at one of the 3 LFS nearby. Well here the closest LFS is about 30-40 min away. For the amount of water I need and the gas to get there, it just wasn't worth it. So long story short - I ordered an 100gpd system and am in wait of its arrival. Once it gets here I should be able to keep everything stable as possible. Because of the lack of available water I previously only turned on the fan when absolutely necessary which led to irregular evaporation. The heat when I didn't expect it led to break outs of cyano and hair algae. I thought I had it all taken care of with some extra CUC but the next heat wave brought it right back. Which means no pics for a while!! haha it's embarrassing to show the ickyness of it right now. Anyway, hopefully i'll be able to bring it back to gloriousness pretty soon and when that happens, pics will follow Link to comment
spanko Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Saddleback College has a marine science program. Are they on of the colleges that hand out free filtered seawater? Link to comment

spanko Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Oh sorry. But you are still a California girl yes?? Are you close to any of the universities? It would be worth it to check on the availability of FREE filtered natural seawater. I can't remember which college it was that one of the members was talking about, maybe somewhere around San Fransisco, that was letting people bring in a container and supplying the water.
