im moving to my new apt. april 30th and i was wondering how exactly do i move the tank. can i keep the same water? how do i move the fish? i know im forgetting alot of questions but please fill me in. im also guessing that i will need A LOT of buckets and i only have 4, so if anyone wants to lend me some that would be great. thanks

I forget but is your tank 55Gal?
Remove and save at least half the water if possible in buckets and put your corals/fish etc. into the buckets.
Get the water level as low as possible in then tank and move it without disturbing the sand as much as possible.
Let us know and I'm sure plenty will show up.

yes it is a 55g with a few mushrooms and green star polyps. as for rocks i only have about 60lbs and for livestock i have one yellow tang, one maroon clown fish and two damsels. i will be moving from castle hills too 410 and perrin bittel (sp?). its between the rialto movie theaters and the palace mens club. heh heh the palace is only a block a way. :skeezy
