    Default tank move

    i finally decided to do the hard job of moving my 75 gal away from the wall about 4 inches so i can fit my skimmer.i removed 90% of the water into buckets and most of the liveorck,and then moved it, then put back 50% of the water, and added the rest amount of fresh saltwater..im strugling with nitrates so i decided it would b good.

    im sure some of my hermits got got squished under my live rock, is that ok? i know there gona die.will it ****e up my ammonia and all that crap?i sure as heck hope not...

    no it shouldn't but do monitor wq for the next week. sometimes when you move your tank you can disturb dead areas in the bed potentially releasing unwanted anaerobic crap into the water column.

    cheers,
