ClaireFB Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 It's good to see another female with a great tank. I hope the move has gone well. Our tanks are quite similar too, even if they are seperated by the Atlantic (I live in England). I have two b/w clowns, a blue neon gobie and 2 yellow head jawfish in my tank. They all get on great, and are all so intresting to watch. I bet you were really upset about your jawfish. I adore mine, and could watch them for hours. I also have loads of zoa's, a few lps's, and mushrooms. I'm expecting a shipment tommorow, with a superman monti frag, purple porites frag and green monti. Can't wait to see pics of your tank in new location. Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Claire, sounds like a great tank, got any pics? I was very upset about my jawfish, but I plan to get another once I move, and get a screen over my tank. they are really cool fish. The new location is going to be sweet!!!! Right in my living room, and eye level to boot! I will post pics of where the tank is going asap. Link to comment
Monkfish Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Looking good! Please save me a frag or 2 as well if you could when my tank is ready BTW Im setting up my tank for a jawfish as well I hope it works out. Link to comment
Oceanic 30g Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 When do you plan to have the tank up and running? Are you bringing water from the old tank? (I assume you are) Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Most of the move is going to happen this sunday. I dont know if the tank move will happen until lster that week or the following weekend. I am bringing as much of the old water as possible, I aim to do two 15% water changes after the move, about 6 hours apart. I doubt I will have any problems, my rockwork got compromised a month or so ago by my clownfish, and I had tp pull it out and move a ton of stuff around, the water got super cloudy and I was so worried about the tank. The next morning everything was fine, my no3 spiked to about 5ppm, then dropped back to zero a couple days later. From this experience, I doubt I will have have any issues moving the tank. The guys at my work move huge tanks all the time, they never have any problems. Link to comment
Oceanic 30g Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I am sure you will be fine. I have moved a ton of tanks and I rarely had issues. Link to comment

SeeDemTails Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 Well, the tank move is happening this Thursday for sure! Pics of the move to come. Wish me luck! In the mean time check out this new Mountain Dew colored Digitata I got! Link to comment
reefdan Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 ^ i don't really like digis but this one is very nice. props ^ EDIT: oh, btw, your neon goby is a fat as$ Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 Yeah, I keep him nice and chubby. He can eat a whole penny sized flake of formula 1, or about 15 mysis shrimp! He doesnt like formula 2 as much. Link to comment
ezcompany Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 i just moved my tank. i can tell you, it was NOT a pleasant experience. Link to comment
Detritus07 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Will there be pics of the move? jk. Good luck with it. Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 So, I moved the tank yesterday. What a job! Everything is fine, other than a few accident frags. Needed them anyways for swaps. EZ doesnt lie, it is a major, stressful, PITA!!!!!! I was gonna take pics, but I got a little carried away. The tank is in its new home, but I am not sure if I want to post pics of it until I have the rock done and everyone is chillin. My reef looks embarassing right now lol. Link to comment
spanko Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Ah that is over with. is it located like it was in the last place so that you can see through from one room to the other? I though that was a nice touch. Link to comment
Oceanic 30g Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I just added liverock last night and the unpacking stacking and cleanup was a PIA. I can only imagine moving all the stuff you had and setting it back up. Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 You really dont know how much coral you have until you start to take it out of the tank and put it in a rubbermaid. You REALLY REALLY dont know how much coral you have until you try to put it back in the tank! Spanko, it is no longer double sided, but its new locations makes up for it, wait and see! I also found that catching a fish by hand is much easier and less stressful for the fish than using a net. Link to comment
brshriver Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Congrats on the move! Did you chase the fish into a container by hand? That always seemed easiest to me. I have also seen the LFS use the PVC pipes as 'nets'. The fish hide in them and then you just lift out the pipe. Link to comment
Smurf Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Best of Luck See. I've always been a fan of your Scaping. Link to comment
quy_nquyen Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 nice tank, cant wait to see the next set of pictures Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 I caught the target mandarin, the neon goby, and both clowns with just my hand, and then put them in a bucket. They kinda sat in a little pool in the cup of my hand for a sec while I moved them. The tang and the chromis are just to fast, I chased them into a pitcher with my hands and then lifted it out.

Monkfish Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Congrats on the move I hope youll be keeping the scape the same? Yours is one of my favorites Link to comment
Euroreefer Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Yeah x2 on the Aqua scape Thats really working for you. Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 There will still be two sides, SPS side and zoanthid side. So it will look similar, but with 25lb more rock! Link to comment
