I’m moving up north to the Portland areas down from LA. It’s about a 14 hour drive or 800 or so miles. My job isn’t providing a relocation allowance or hiring movers so I’ll have to move. Had my tank since about Jan of this year so it’s been up for about 6 months. I don’t have a ton of corals...

Current set up: I have a 55 gallon fish only tank with a yellow-hooded eye tang, a pair of mated clowns, a red hawkfish, and lots of coraline algae and a green grassy macro algae (feels like astro turf). The lights on that one are blue spectrum and a bright white. I run a canister filter on...

So I am hoping to start a saltwater aquarium soon but I have a feeling we’ll be moving long distance (20+ hr car ride) by the end of the year due to job relocation. If we drive straight to our destination with the fish in their own 5 gallon buckets would it be okay? (Thinking an eel, possibly a...

Hi, We are in the process of getting into this and are maybe a bit to eager and ambitious! We bought a beautiful acrylic tank that is a round bubble and about 45gallons (photos to come), got it set up and going and then noticed a leak on bottom, so drained it and resealed/glue and start...

Has anyone ever relocated a reef aquarium in excess of 100 gallons? How far was the move? How did you do it? What were the lessons learned in the process? I may need to relocate my aquarium in a year or two, and I wanted to get ahead of the planning curve. I'm a big proponent of learning...

Hi all, I recently made an 8 hour drive transporting a 20g tank, with 100% inhabitants surviving, so I thought I’d make a little case experiment write up in case it can help others. My method used 2 five gallon buckets, inside a styrofoam cooler. Both filled with display tank water, then fish...
