Hey Everyone,sorry this is sort of a rushed post so it may not make too much sense lol
This weekend/week me and my parents made the move from London Ontario to Ingleside Ontario, it is about a 600km drive the first thing to be moved was my aquarium, I got a great deal on a tank from North American Fish breeders so I used the opportunity to upgrade slightly from 45gcube to a custom 75gal
we started packing up the rental van by 8am and didnt have it done till nearly 12:30, we ended up running out of space so ALOT of drygoods and tools couldnt come with us. it turns out the van we got didnt have AC so by time we got to the new house around 7pm the heat and stress had gotten to me and I definitely wasnât feeling too well
it took about 2 hours to get everything level and in place, by 9pm I began to fill the tank with sand and new SW by time i had the tank half full and at temp it was 1am, thatâs when i added the older water, some old sand along with all the rock! it was about 3am at that point and I was a zombie i decided to call it a night, the temp was holding about 80 degrees in the corals coolers and the fish were doing okay in there bucket with an airline so I figured everything would be fine.
i was up bright an early sunday to finish the plumbing and add the last buckets of water to the sump, the tank was still cloudy but i had to get going! so all the coral was added rather quickly followed by the fish.
the skimmer was going absolutely crazy untill about 45min beofre we left with it dialed wayyy down, so I was just hoping it would be okay! i had a hose from the collection cup to a bucket in anticipation of alot of skimate!
When we returned in Ingleside Wednesday with the rest of our stuff just before the movers arrived, the water was crystal clear, and all my fish were outâ¦the bad part is I lost a lot of my sps, mostly the bigger pieces Ive had a while, the good news is the ones I recently picked up which are the more rare and expensive ones were okay also all my chalices and acans are also looking pretty good! , regardless I think itâs safe to say I will never be moving my tank again, when itâs time for me to move out all my livestock will be sold off
here is the tank before
and after

birdsnest (tipped over)

neon green acro (just hanging on)
