If i had to do it again......id have sold it all and started over.
In retrospect i toyed with the idea for a good while before i moved, and decided i did not want to pay for it all again,so id move them.
That was mistake #1.....i lost 90 % of my SPS including a few that were atleast soccerball sized....these are not so easy to just maintain in pails...mostly because they didnt even fit in most of them.
So now i get to start over anyways.
My Major mistake was the fact that i didnt really plan it out, but in the midst of purchasing a home and moving in within a couple weeks, renting trucks and all the other junk involved it just doesnt leave a whole lot of time to plan.
But in reality my reef stuff had to be placed on the backburner...you probably have a whole house worth of other stuff to move too right ?
I also considered setting up my new system before the actuall move and just transfer corals...that would be the best and the least amount of losses, but for me it wasnt an option..i found my wallet and accounts were getting sucked dry from down payments, property taxes and such.
I had my prized piece placed in a friends tank when the others started going...and im so happy i did...and thanks Jamie!.
If you have friends nearby, and they have a little room, i would take your favorite peices to them, sell the remaining, and move your reef stuff along with everything else...it will save you a jar of ibuprofin and alot of sleep.
owell...it begins anew !
, now that i think about it, and am in the midst of doing it again....thats most of the fun.
Good luck with yours Tony.
