Hey everyone, I have recently bought a new house and I will be needing to move my 18 gallon nano. Also, while I am moving I will be switching to a new 18 gallon drilled tank with a refugium. I was wondering if anyone possibly had some ideas on what to do with my corals and 3 fish while i move tanks? I dont wany to kill them while I have a new small cycle. Would anyone be willing to let me drop a few corals and fish in their refugium or anything for a few days to a week? I am desperate here and I dont want to hurt anything. Thank you all so much, I appreciate all of your help!
Thanks!

Dustin,
I am located in North Austin (183& Anderson Mill), I will be glad to hold any corals and fish while you cycle your new tank. I also have numerous buckets and tubs that you can use to move your tank.

Hey Dustin I have a 5 gal refuge on my 7 gal bow I could hold some corals in the 5 gal for you. I'm near Mopac and 45th street.

I am also in north Austin and can help. Why would you have a cycle? Are you getting fresh rock? If your just moving the same stuff it should not be a problem. Put all the life in a bucket with an airstone and they'll be fine for 8-10 hours. That should be plenty of time to move a tank that size.

I had all my stuff in buckets and rubbermaid tubs for about two day with a small powerhead in it, and everything was fine.

Hey guys, thanks so much for your help. the reason I want to store the stuff elsewhere is because I will be adding some more rock to my refugium and also some more sand. Just want the little guys to be safe.
Thanks so much!
