Dixie's 10gal reef

Its about 1300 miles away, I will have my hands full to say the least.
Wow ... yes that IS a move for sure ,,, and hopefully you have a good plan in place if you are taking the tank with you ... maybe have it all packed up and boxed by an LFS and then move it all that way in one or more styrofoams ... and if they fill the bags with oxygen that is of course better ...
 
I don't trust my lfs enough to do that. I have a plan in place, hopefully it goes smoothly with minimal loss. Fingers crossed.

Well all the best and keep us posted on how you did it and how it all went when you arrived at your destination ... Thanks
 
It is moving day! Been on the road for an hour and decided to check the temp in the buckets and its sitting at 75.

Are you doing anything to raise it or are you trying to keep the temp. low .... not sure what type of weather you are heading into (warm, hot, very hot, or the opposite)

But nicely packaged for transport !
 
That is just the temp its at, it is next to a cooler filled with ice which is probably keeping it down. Its 95 outside right now. I may put a towel between it to keep it from getting too cold.

Good idea indeed .... better on the lower side of normal than way too high ... not too low though but it seems you have taken care of that too ... good for you !
 
Thank you both! I will try to keep this thread updated throughout the trip. Checked the temp and its holding steady at 75.
 
Thank you, like my dog, my tanks are my babies. We are headed all the way to el paso tx, we should be getting there tonight and securing a house tomorrow.
