Good morning!
My husband and I are getting ready to move within the next few months. Our new home is likely to be about 40-60 min from our current home.
I have a 29g mixed reef tank (no sump). Multiple inverts, lots of 'pods, 4 small fish, handful of coral. I also have a 10g macro algae tank with one fish and minimal CUC. Live rock in both tanks. No sumps.
I'm trying to develop a plan with the least amount of cycling since I won't have the opportunity to cycle a tank in the new place.
I'm assuming lots of buckets - but is there a recommended set of steps? New sand or keep old? How to distribute corals/fish/inverts between buckets?
We're thinking that on day of move I would focus on the tanks first with a helper, and he would focus on the move itself until the tanks were set up in their destinations.
Moving wasn't in the cards when I set these up in January!
Thanks!
