Thanks for sharing your tank with us. Your system is always so nice and clean! Sharing this on our facebook page so more can enjoy it.
I'm basically putting the four structures in 5G buckets, and using 3-4 pieces of fishing line tied to the structure and a 5G lid. It will keep it from tumbling. As for temp, I will coordinate via the AC in my car and a portable water temp monitor. This will work perfectly... in my head. I'm sure in practice it will be much harder. :lol:
That's true.
I'm originally from the east coast too! Melev I like RA better lol! Mainly cuz there's only one melev!
Lots of water, and lock in the temps during the drive with sealed ice chests. You don't want it to roll over and crush anything.
The main problem is that all of the corals are on 4 structures.. and this being a mixed reef, it's going to be a bit of a nail biter during transport with all of them close together and "uncomfortable". But oh well, we'll see what happens.
I see a lot of easy to move corals, but you've got a few that will be tricky. Thank goodness you don't have a full blown SPS reef - way harder to successfully move. 700 miles - sounds like 12 hours of driving to me. I hope it goes well for you, and I totally understand your looming concerns. Please let us know how it goes; we're rooting for your reef!

Middle of no where South Carolina. My original hometown was South East Florida, just changing coasts.
Where are you moving from?
Yes I live in Ft. Myers and yes I post on SWFMAS not as much as RA though.
Thanks! I assume you live there/near there, are you part of the SWFMAS forums? I recently started posting there.
Welcome to Ft. Myers!
Nice looking setup, I like a simple and clean aquascape. How long has this been setup?
Thanks! I have a flame blenny, a sixline, and a pair of false percs.
Very nice setup, I like the simplicity! What do you have for fish? From the pics, I can only spot a sixline wrasse.

Hi Midnight! Actually I have a "reef nook", a Harry Potter room behind the tank. I passed all the electronics and store all of the reef stuff in there (Behind that curtain). The tank is the first thing you see when you step into my home.. a "welcome into my home" type thing. : )
That's great. I would like to see a wide angle shot of the whole setup. Looks like you incorporated a shelf on the wall next to the tank.
