Moving to Haines City... anyone free Wednesday?

[Mrs Smith]

So aside from freaking out about moving the stuff, the dogs, the cats, and getting the house ready to sell, I haven't had time to freak out about the tanks... I'm just going to move them both and worry about upgrading to big tank later. There's not enough time.

Moving day is Wed, April 9th. North Orlando (I-4/Lee) to south of Haines City (Jim Edwards Rd/Lake Marion). We have movers to do most of the lifting/moving, thank goodness.

I think I have enough coolers to move the 72, but might need a couple of buckets/ tubs if anyone has a few we can borrow. Also, is there anyone on the other end (Haines City/Davenport/Winter Haven area) who could meet us with water? We'll be bringing our RO, but it isn't fast enough to rely on completely. We'll pay you back in salt or frags! Or beer and pizza! Once I find a store! (We use IO, 1.025ish)

The 55 is freshwater planted, so not too many worries there - fish and plants in a bucket. The reef is the tricky one. I've moved several tanks, and it's a miserable experience, but think I can do this one ok on the breakdown end... but again, I'll take all the help we can get.

Danielle, who is seriously freaking out about everything!

Do you need salt or RO? And how many gallons total?

 

[Mrs Smith]

We'll need salt - will hook up the RO to fill the FW as soon as we can, but the salt will take longer. I'm going to drain all but the bottom 2-3" and see if the movers can move it with sand and a little water in place. It's a quick move, and will be among the last things on the truck and first off.

I may need some more buckets for rock... should I bag the fish or just put them in a cooler with a bubbler and some rock (and water obviously) I have several clean, empty, big coolers... getting it all back in will be the tricky part - we have so outgrown this tank it's not even funny.
