I'm preparing to move houses and moving my tank has been the biggest headache. I started taking my old tank down yesterday and moved all my corals into a temporary 15G tank with an eggcrate cut to the tank size. I placed all my corals in there plus a K2 with some Live rock rubble w/ a heater running. I moved my powerbrites to give it some light for the night and so far my corals aren't the happiest in the temporary tank. The zoas open up but w/o the skirts :squigglemouth: Some of the SPS has mucous squiriting out. Could it be a temporary reaction for moving or is something wrong w/ my water? I filled the 15G tank w/ water from my existing old tank but took the Live Rocks from my refugium.

Tonight will be the big move to move all the corals w/ fish to the new house. Hopefully they can hold up to all the moving. Good thing its only a 30 minute drive. I got lots of tubs and water buckets to transfer as much old water as possible.
