Hey everyone, I am upgrading from a 30 gallon to a 60 gallon. The 30 gallon will be at my old apartment whereas the new tank will be in my new home so this will have to be done in a day. My plan is to transfer the existing 30 lbs of rock, 30 gallons of water, filter media, and the sand along...

Hey everyone, my wife and I hired painters to paint the ceiling, walls, and trim in several rooms including the 1 where my 75 gallon tank is located. The tank is on a wooden stand and is ~1-2” off the wall currently. Painters said I need to move it a few feet off the wall so they can prep and...

I have been wanting saltwater but I have no knowledge of saltwater besides what I can find online. I’ve never taken care of saltwater. I saw someone selling their established tank on fb market place for $400, Is this a good deal and how difficult would it be for me to move this aquarium to my...

Hello! Just a question for people who have moved before. I have a 13.5G tank so not too big but I’m moving a short distance away and am looking for advice on the best way to “easily” move the tank and not induce too much stress on the tank. I have 2 clowns, some snails/hermits, and a cleaner...

Well, tomorrow is the big day. (Stress venting) Long story short I bought a new house about 15 mins up the road. Set up a brand new squeaky clean waterbox infinia frag 125. That tank is cycled and now holds all of my lps and zoas. Now I have the daunting task of bagging up a few hundred acro...

Hello all, I am Moving from the Bay area to Idaho within the next month and have a fully stocked 20 gallon reef tank running and want to bring it with me. I have probably around 50-60 individual corals in the tank and a light stock list. My best idea that I have in my head is individually...

I just built a 75 (+20gallon sump) gallon tank and it’s fully cycled now by adding rock in from my old 30 gallon tank. I’ve also already added a new fish into the 75. I have 2 AI Prime lights and I left one on my old tank and brought the new one to my new tank. What’s the best way to move my...

So I’m moving and want to take my hobby with me. Sort of. I’m keeping my livestock, and I have moved with fish cross country before and feel comfortable with it. That’s not my problem area, I’m really torn on my actual aquarium. So I’ve had a Red Sea 250 set up for a while and I don’t exactly...

At the beginning of this month I moved back to my parent’s house after a breakup. Before the move I had pretty much no algae in my tank but about a week afterwards I started getting brown hair algae all over my rocks and now it’s getting out of hand. Nitrates and phosphates are both at 0 and I...

This white worm or tube is now moving up the rock and I don’t know what it is, I haven’t seen anything come out of it, but throughout the night it has moved up approximately 3 inches

I will be moving long distance (Nebraska to Texas) next month. I have a 35gal reef tank. 2 clowns, a bengai cardinal, starfish, snails and some rather large coral on my live rock.

Looking for suggestions on transporting approximately 15 new fish via car on a 1.5 hour drive. The fish are a mix of mainly tangs, a few clowns, and a few small misc. I really wasn’t trying to have an entire car full of Homer buckets in the back seat with individual portable airstones. The...

To preface, I'm a college student with a 20 gallon cube AIO softie/LPS reef tank. My semester ends next Wednesday so I'm moving back home for the summer. Unfortunately, my parents are also moving on June 19th, so I have to move my tank from Tampa to Jacksonville (around a 4 hour drive) and then...

Hi all, after years of looking in from the outside I’m finally in a place financially where I feel comfortable jumping into reef keeping. There’s only one issue and that is that there is a high probability that I will be moving in June of 2025. My question: Is it worth buying all of the...

Hey guys, fairly new to the hobby and wanted to get some different opinions on tips and tricks you guys might have picked up on when moving your tanks. From my understanding I will need to get new sand because the old sand will contain dangerous gasses. If I am totally off by saying this please...
