Thread: Moving... What a headache...

    Default Moving... What a headache...

    So today was the big day were the movers where supposed to show up and we pack there truck up and we make the move to my new house. Well needless to say they never showed up. Even after talking and confirming with them. So now here I was with about 180lbs of live rock starting to dry because I just drained the 90gal that I had running in my garage for the move. Needless to say lol I moved that extremely heavy tank (I can only imagine what your 150+ weight) all by myself. It's the only thing up in my new house but all the live rock and aquarium are up and I put 25gallons of rodi mixed salt water in there so it stays alive. I snagged a brute 44gal on wheels from Home Depot and I have to say this thing is heaven. Never will I ever have to lift a jug again lol. I picked up a bottle of biospira and priming the water so I hope I don't get a cycle and if I do hopefully it is going to be small and I can water change through it. I've never moved like this and just tossed my fish in the tank 2 days later. So I guess my question is A) do you think I'm going to get a big ammonia spike and B) will my fish and coral make it?

    Let me add that this was set up and running for over 3 months. Had a full cycle and a diatom bloom and we were at 0.0.5 when I drained it to move.
