I've actually read of tanks last a month or so while strapped well.

Some hard core moving ratchet straps should hold it so you wouldn't have to use the tub.

This sucks I'm so sorry :(

Done and done..mp40s, heater, lights and skimmer set up...anthias already tried to fly, tang is kissed and looks like he scratched himself, clowns are fine..riding the flow from the mp40s.
Thanks for the advice. I feel better having the skimmer set up. I was too tired to set up the scrubber...I’ll do that tomorrow.

Im so tired I posted this, with pics in a random thread

Sorry to hear this. Only thing I would suggest is make **** stand and put skimmer in tub. If you have smaller fish I would try and block skimmer intake with eggcrate or something
Oh no..I have 2 barnacle blennies. Do you think they’ll be okay until tomorrow?

My RO stand adjusted high enough. Surprised, but relieved

We were going to have to do this when the new tank was being set up. Just didn’t expect to do it now, and have to leave it this way until next week. Old tank should smell good tomorrow. Lfs had to leave..it was late and bad storm coming, so sand and leftover stuff are still in the tank:(

This sucks. Is it still under warranty.
Actually, they already sent a replacement tank. It’s still in its crate in the garage. Sold it and put the money towards a Waterbox 220

As frank answered use something but usually not a problem. After moving stress and new home I wonder about fishes thinking that’s all.

I can’t wait for the day I drain my Red Sea. Yours is the 3rd 425 let go nevermind all the others

Just keep a close eye. I didn’t even see it. My lfs is the one that noticed it while cleaning my tank. Guess I should be thankful for throwing out my back (thats why he was cleaning my tank). I may never have seen it

When are you draining yours?
