FlowerMama Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 5 g buckets w/ heater? Plastic kitchen garbage can emptied w/ several bags in it to line it?? Link to comment
MrNanoReef Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Walmart usually has really cheap 10 gal tanks. Or a clean storage tote? Go to walmart and grab a 10g tank like he said, or a clear storage container with lid, they even have heater/filter and such if you need life support for 2 containers. Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 should i transfer sand to the bucket????? nearest walmart is like 45 mins away. trying to get this all sorted out so i can get a few hours of sleep before work at 5am Link to comment
Halo_003 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Empty stuff out of a rubbermaid tub, don't transfer sand, just fish rocks and corals! Might sound stupid here so don't kill me but worst case scenario if you have a double basin kitchen sink clean out one side, plug it and keep stuff there overnight. Use a trash bag to act like a pond layer barrier thing, will also protect your sink from the SW. (I did this when my 5G FW leaked). Link to comment

MTH Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I agree with the plastic tub. When I moved 4 months ago I kept all of my livestock in a clear Rubbermaid for 2 months. Granted I only had fish and softies but everything did good. Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I think I found my next fish. It will be either a splendid dottyback or neon dottyback =). I have the neon dotty! Thing is a beast, controls all the other fish. Link to comment

teenyreef Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Maybe lay the empty tank on its back and cover them with towels soaked in tank water? Don't lose hope, you can pull through Link to comment

I wish things would stop receding in my biocube cause I'd totally love more plates in there! Do you have a timeline on a move? I've got some packing paper and moving pads I'd let you have.

TigerLily Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Oh no! What an awful thing to have happen. And these things always happen late at night. I love your beautiful tanks! I hope you got everything sorted out as best you can. The plastic bin sounds like the right thing for the job. I wish I was closer, I would help you peel off that gsp wall and rescue it. I've been trying to get one going just like it for forever. For whatever reason, I can't get it to grow! Link to comment

You have plenty of room in your new 20g for new corals =). The move wont happen any time soon....still house hunting. Oh no! What an awful thing to have happen.

I was up till 3am mopping things up and peeling the GSP backwall =(. Wish I can just ship people corals but I hate the hassle of packing and shipping corals. Link to comment
xiaoxiy Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 DUDE, ARE YOU SERIOUSLY SELLING EVERYTHING? NO PLS. Also, if you are really selling things. I will drive up to Chicago to grab stuff from you.... Link to comment
kimberbee Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I'd be interested in plates, euphyllia, RFA, acans. You don't have any gorgs in there do you? Sorry you didn't get much sleep last night. Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 I'd be interested in plates, euphyllia, RFA, acans. You don't have any gorgs in there do you? Sorry you didn't get much sleep last night. do you want to come by and have your pick? Rough pricing: orange plates - $20 green helmet plate - $10 euphyllia - $5 per head RFA - not sure if RFA made the transfer because I had to peel it off the bottom glass.... acans - $5 - $15 per frag. gorg- i have some nice gorg in the 5g but still undecided whether i will break that down too plus i will throw in tons of freebies like blastos / zoas / lepto / misc Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Why do clownfish have to be such jerks! BOTH of my girls are biting me now! Ow!! My female goes nuts on me. it freaks me out more than anything when you have a clownfish charging your hand. She's gone so far as to jump out of the water's surface going after me! Luckily she didn't jump OUT of the tank. Crazy clowns. Link to comment
