You could get someone from NR who lives near where you are going to recommend a LFS who might accept your prized coral, then ship it to them. I would just sell any fish or coral you can easily replace....However, since I have moved a lot, I have always just started over each time...
PrimoPromo Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Where in Michigan are you moving? I know of an LFS in the Kalamazoo area that will probably hold your corals and fish if you ship to them.
mikesnano Posted June 22, 2008 Author Posted June 22, 2008 Where in Michigan are you moving? I know of an LFS in the Kalamazoo area that will probably hold your corals and fish if you ship to them. canton area. i really dont have that much coral. im more worried if im going to ruin my live rock by bucketing it, and bringing it with me. i plan on having the tank back up and running within 4 days from tear down to arival in michigan.
PrimoPromo Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 As long as you keep the water up to temp, and maybe a little circulation, I think 4 days will be ok. But others feel free to chime in. As far as LFS in the Canton area you're going to be near the Fish Doctors. It is a great store, you might want to call them, they may take your live stock for a while.
Mr. Fosi Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 You won't do anything bad to the LR (or the organisms that give it the "L") so long as you keep it wet and at a reasonable temp (70-85F). Wet is the most important and cold is better than hot.
