moving

So I’m moving and want to take my hobby with me. Sort of. I’m keeping my livestock, and I have moved with fish cross country before and feel comfortable with it. That’s not my problem area, I’m really torn on my actual aquarium. So I’ve had a Red Sea 250 set up for a while and I don’t exactly...

At the beginning of this month I moved back to my parent’s house after a breakup. Before the move I had pretty much no algae in my tank but about a week afterwards I started getting brown hair algae all over my rocks and now it’s getting out of hand. Nitrates and phosphates are both at 0 and I...

This white worm or tube is now moving up the rock and I don’t know what it is, I haven’t seen anything come out of it, but throughout the night it has moved up approximately 3 inches

I will be moving long distance (Nebraska to Texas) next month. I have a 35gal reef tank. 2 clowns, a bengai cardinal, starfish, snails and some rather large coral on my live rock.

Looking for suggestions on transporting approximately 15 new fish via car on a 1.5 hour drive. The fish are a mix of mainly tangs, a few clowns, and a few small misc. I really wasn’t trying to have an entire car full of Homer buckets in the back seat with individual portable airstones. The...

To preface, I'm a college student with a 20 gallon cube AIO softie/LPS reef tank. My semester ends next Wednesday so I'm moving back home for the summer. Unfortunately, my parents are also moving on June 19th, so I have to move my tank from Tampa to Jacksonville (around a 4 hour drive) and then...

Hi all, after years of looking in from the outside I’m finally in a place financially where I feel comfortable jumping into reef keeping. There’s only one issue and that is that there is a high probability that I will be moving in June of 2025. My question: Is it worth buying all of the...

Hey guys, fairly new to the hobby and wanted to get some different opinions on tips and tricks you guys might have picked up on when moving your tanks. From my understanding I will need to get new sand because the old sand will contain dangerous gasses. If I am totally off by saying this please...

Hi all, I recently set up a new 30 gallon reef tank and am trying to figure out what to do. For some background, I have a 13.5 which I bought a rock that had 3 awesome nems on and placed it in my tank knowing the previous owner had dinos. This sparked the dinos in my 13.5 which I have recently...

Hey guys, I’ve had my Biocube 32 setup now for about 4 months. I started my tank with 30 lbs of TBS live rock and 20 lbs of TBS live sand. I’m moving 5 mins away from my current apartment. I’ve done some research about moving reef tanks and wondered if I could get some insight regarding the...

Moving from CA to TX and stopping for a week in Vegas. I have a 20 gallon that’s been running for almost two years. Fighting bubble algea and aiptasia. Thoughts on tossing the sand and drying out the rock? Would the water be fine sitting in jugs for two weeks before the tank is up and running...

So we finally made the move. Went from Las Vegas NV to Portales NM and everyone made the trip. Well except some corals decided to become frags along the way. We took a 12 hour drive and had all our fish and corals living in totes plumbed together running a pump and a heater off of an inverter...

Hey Y'all, In about 3 months I'll be moving across the country from Knoxville, TN to Denver, CO (1,300 – 1,400 miles). I've got a Red Sea Reefer 170 (43 gal). I feel like it’s going to be much too expensive to restart all of my corals and as a result am looking to move them with me. The idea...

Hello everyone! I've used this forum ever since I started the saltwater hobby 4 years ago and was impressed by the great advice the people on here gave. And so, I present my very first question on this forum: How do I transport my 40 Gal. mixed reef to my new house? I currently live in...
