I'm going to be moving across country and want to keep my tank. I was hoping that maybe I could hire someone to watch it until i get the new tank set up and then ship the fish to me.
This probably sounds crazy, since everyone seems to sell off everything before a move and then start over.
Has anyone used a LFS to watch their fish/coral? A fish sitter?
I'm not close friends with anyone who keeps a salt tank, and don't want to risk the care (even with clear instructions) to someone who doesn't already know what to do. I'm not keen on trying to move everybody across the country on a ~3 day drive. I'd prefer not to sell, especially my clown and brittle star. They have great personalities, and I'm attached to them.
Has anyone tried something like this? Hiring someone to watch, while you get a new tank establishes, then ship? Any advice or suggestions on how to pull this off?
