My tank made the move!

[crage34]

i just wanted to tell every one that ijust moved off to college and i took my 30 gal saltwater tank with me...i didnt have much life to begin with but i made the move with not one casualty...i put all my live rock in a deep rubber made container with about 5 galons of water from my tank and i left a few gallons of water in the tank to keep the sand alive..then i put all my phs, heater and skimmer in a 5gal bucket with about 2 gal. of water to keep any bacteria alive on that...then i filled up 2 5 gal watercontainers that i use to get my ro water in....i managed to save every bit of my water in the move...and i got all of it in my 2 door sebring with room to take my clothes ...now im about to go buy a clown fish and some live rock...just wanted to tellevery one the good news

Good idea keeping the skimmer in water so there is no re-break in period. Good job, good luck.

Make sure you tell everyone up front 'NOTHING GETS SET ON THE FISH TANK EVER

that is exactly why i put the tank in my room and not in the living room where my 4 room mates wanted me to put it ....but yeah...i guess we are all probably considered drunks lol...there are 4 of us in a 4 bedroom house and we know alot of pplhere at uk

wow. nice place. When I was in college it was two of us squeezed into a space the size of a closet!

no living room, no kitchen. just a room and a bathroom. ( i guess I was lucky to even have the bathroom.)

 

[crage34]

well my buddy (who had a very good savings) bought a house and we are all spliting the morgage...4 bedrooms 1 bathroom (1bath sucks)...but yeah it is pretty nice comparded to what some live in
