You don't know what you have till it's gone

I believe that's how it goes.

Well I made the move 3 weeks ago. I was 30 mins outside of St.Louis for the last 10 years ,And boy do I miss all the great salt stores there. Now I'm 45 mins west of Branson , or in other words, "In the middle of Nowhere".

I moved my 90 gallon tank starting on a Saturday and after the breakdown, cleaning ,5 hr drive,and set up, finally had some movement and a heater by Sunday morning.

Well after 3 weeks I'm starting to see my colors return in my sps.I did lose my Mandarin and 2 peppermint shrimp,But overall not a single lost of Coral. I did cut everything soft and hard back to small colonies before the move which I believe helped make it easier and also accumulated a little more than a grand of store credit at a local fish store in St.Charles. I'm thinking about using the credit on a 215 gallon reef ready tank,But have not made up my mind yet.

Well as soon as I get my sps colors back I will post some Pics.

I do have a couple more trips to make back to St.Louis before my house closing . So if anyone needs anything from there,drop me a line and I'll see what I can do.

Well Scott, the good news for you is that your not in the middle of nowhere! If you are 45 minutes west of Branson, that means you are about an hour north of Rogers, Ar where you will find Exotic Tropicals, a store I think you will find to be better than any you had in the STL area. Lucky you!

Funny you say that when I originally moved the tank I left my ro/di at home in St.Louis. So My wife and I made a trip into Rogers to Exotic Tropicals and I made the comment to her that it was as nice or nicer than the stores in St.Louis. Very clean and Nice assortment. I will be visiting them again. And as far as the middle of nowhere, Thats kind of the way I wanted it after the Hustle in St.Louis.
