Are you planning to introduce any of your old livestock to the new tank, or is the plan to start totally fresh? How exciting! I'm moving all livestock over. Right now I have a temporary 40B setup. Will be a while before I can transfer to the new tank. 56 minutes ago, DAP said: Ahhhh, the smell of a freshly torn down tank.........

I just need more corals to fill it up. There was a lot of stupidity with this move. I'm not ready to talk about it just yet but I will 'fess up. 2 hours ago, got2envy said: Wat!

That really is a good method for tank moves. 👍 45 minutes ago, metrokat said: I'm not ready to talk about it just yet but I will 'fess up. Quote Link to comment

Never a spike in ammonia detected even when there was a reason for ammonia to be present. 5 Quote Link to comment

Christopher Marks Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I was wondering what the latest was on that situation, that's really too bad 😕. Walt Smith seemed to have a really great operation, hopefully it's not the end of an era. Quote Link to comment

It's not the end of it. WAY to many people rely on the coral trade for their livelihood. They're now working on getting everything set back up with USF&W and their natural resources department. In Fiji it's about 2000, in Indonesia it's close to 20,000 people. There's a hell of a lot at stake here. Mariculture is gaining traction everywhere which I really like. Australia should be shipping maricultured stock in the next year or 2 hopefully. I still don't understand them not shipping out maricultured stock, not even a little bit. I'd rather get 100 small maricultured colonies than 20 or so large wild colonies, I've gotten as few as 5 in a box which is REALLY expensive when you're talking the amount of money they get for their stock. 1 Quote Link to comment
