Rehype Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Don't be shy...FTS! I know we just won't see it til the end, and you love teasing! Sorry guys I was planning a full update but it turns out im moving alot sooner than I originally planned (like in 12 days sooner lol) and ive started breaking down the tank in preparation. If all goes well with the move Ill do an update with the tank as it will give me a chance to redo my scape (which ive been itching to do) Link to comment
Nano sapiens Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Good luck with the move! Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Well we'll just have to be surprised later. Just be careful. Just don't do what I did... have everything doing well in the bin, transfer it into the tank, and accidentally bump your light into the water because it was sitting temporarily on lighting crate, and electrocute it.

Rehype Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Good luck with the move! Thanks alot nano I appreciate it! Well we'll just have to be surprised later. Just be careful. Just don't do what I did... have everything doing well in the bin, transfer it into the tank, and accidentally bump your light into the water because it was sitting temporarily on lighting crate, and electrocute it. I hate moving tanks as so many bad things could happen but the only good thing is im not moving far so in theory I can transfer everything over to the new place before theres even a significant drop in water temp or oxygen within the transport bins. But ill keep you guys posted on my progress. Link to comment
Paleoreef103 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 1st off. Man, those macros are incredible. You're quite a wiz with that lens. Yep this is the plating variety. There is a branching type as well... looks really cool as it matures. 2nd. I have a love/hate relationship with my M. spongodes. On one hand, it is absolutely a centerpiece of my tank. On the other hand, it's easily the fastest growing coral I've ever had and it gobbles up space at an alarming rate. It's one of two corals in my tank I have to frag constantly to keep in check or it'd be in the square foot range. Looks awesome when its competing with other corals though. Link to comment

tibbsy07 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Best of luck with the move! I need you to make sure it all survives because I am in need of additional inspiration! Link to comment
Rehype Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Good luck with moving. Thanks kitty! I know im a bit stressed as Ive always had limited success with moving tanks. This time im a bit more prepared but the unknown is always a bit scary.....too many things can potentially go wrong and these sensitive animals can die with the smallest mistake or miscalculation. Best of luck with the move! I need you to make sure it all survives because I am in need of additional inspiration! Thanks alot buddy! I was bummed to hear you were taking down the tank but im hoping you'll be back sooner than later Link to comment
JayPagi Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 If I ever move again I'll be borrowing a small generator and a pickup truck when it comes to the tank. Link to comment
Rehype Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Hungry Acan If I ever move again I'll be borrowing a small generator and a pickup truck when it comes to the tank. Thats a great idea. Im going to borrow my buddys truck but i dont think ill need a generator since im only moving 7 minutes away. Link to comment
Mirya Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 If I ever move again I'll be borrowing a small generator and a pickup truck when it comes to the tank. For my recent 500 mile move I had a power inverter running off the cigarette lighter that powered a 25W heater in the bucket with my fish, inverts, and some of my coral. I had a battery operated air pump hooked up to an airstone for circulation. The rest of the corals I bagged individually and put in a big styrofoam box with a heat pack, just like when corals get shipped to you. Was a lot of work, but happily, everything lived. Live rock was in a tote with water, but no heat or circulation. I ditched my sandbed and did not move that. Link to comment

Rehype Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 The little setosa that could...I thought i lost this frag a few weeks ago when it was dislodged from its rock. I couldnt locate it at the time but as I was breaking down the scape guess who was hiding in a crevice. Surprised he was in such good shape considering how little light he was getting...
