If you have a bucket and an air bubbler you can move your stock to a bucket to save some time. I would come get them and hold them for you but I dot live in SA.

I did that with a large Tupperware bucket which I attached.

JUST FYI ALL, don't trust the Nuvo 16 Innovation tanks. Mine was well cared for a year and then I come home to find it leaking. See attached it started leaking under the tank right where the filter system cuts the main tank off.

I've seen well over a dozen tank busts from Nuvo 16. Wish they would bite the bullet and offer a full recall for their faulty aquarium.

If you don't have a home for them yet, I can take them in the morning. As long as you have a bubbler and hearer in the bucket, they should be fine until then.
let me know if you want to bring them over tomorrow.

Do you have a little heater to go in there? Where in SA are you?

Yes there is a heater in there plus an air stone. I live in west SA between 410 and 1604 off of 90.

Your guys should probably be fine in there till tomorrow. Maybe cover the top to prevent jumping, with egg rate or something (even just a paper towel would work). How many gallons was the nuvo? You can probably pick up a cheap 10g at Petco or Walmart.

I'm afraid I will have to get out of the reefing husbandry for a bit. I got discouraged from this incident and need some time to get my bearings back in it. Having to fix wood flooring and wood cabinets was not fun. If anyone wants the survivor coral, shrimp, and fish along with 25lbs of live rock and sand you are welcomed to pick up all. It's a very good starter livestock set.

Thanks for the response but everything has a new home now. Thanks again Gilbert for finding a home for the coral and fish.
