Not a country outside of china or south korea has a chance at containing something with an r value of 2... Chances are border restrictions at this point will be pointless, it's likely all-over europe and well-established across the puddle by now. (IIRC Denmark and Norway are already monitoring confirmed clusters) 1 Quote Link to comment

Did you say the new tank was already set up and running at the new place or not yet? The new tank is not running yet, or even set up yet. We decided to forge ahead with some interior paint job and all-new flooring for the basement (where the tank will be) before we move. That said, I've been curing my rocks since maybe August (?), then they were moved to LFS live rock stock tub while we pack up this house the last two months or so. Hopefully, that's enough curing/maturing to jump start the system. 1 Quote Link to comment

It doesn't look like you have too much rock in the current tank, but will you move what you have in there along with the new rock? I just did that with my tank move and it went extremely well. Corals haven't missed a beat. 1 Quote Link to comment

Corals haven't missed a beat. Ideally, I’m cutting the corals and replanting in the new tank. They have quite a bit of vermetid snails on them. I may use them in the sump temporarily, not sure yet. someone asked about the scoly’s? No? Here they are anyway. the big one is practically “spilling” over the side of its original skeleton nowadays 5 1 Quote Link to comment

xiaoxiy Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 If it’s just vermitids, my vote would be to crush as many manually as possible, and then move your old rock over (either to the display or sump). I’m think that doing so will minimize risk of tank transfer crash and maximized the speed at which your corals will settle in and take off again. 2 Quote Link to comment
mitten_reef Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 Moving days - today and tomorrow. Tank will be the last thing to move. new tank location, the walls still need a new coat of paint. 12 Quote Link to comment
A.m.P Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 You might want to close the register near the stairs to help with evaporation, awesome location and nice floors XD 1 Quote Link to comment

The register at the bottom of the stairs is just a transfer grille, letting air goes back to the furnace room. The supply is on the opposite side wall, I think we’ll be ok on evap 1 Quote Link to comment

mitten_reef Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 happy new year. This will be the end of this thread. I will begin the process of the waterbox setup in the coming days, weeks. This tank is being used as a temporary holding as the house wasn’t quite ready for the new tank to be up and running in time for the move. The tank move happened on Wednesday; it has been a success (so far). the beginning after the first trip; heat and flow new location and lights closeup after move; all coralline turned bright pink from drying out and my dog admiring the fish tank for the first time. He was afraid of stairs at the old house. 12 Quote Link to comment
