Moving twice in short time.

HotRod68Camaro · 02/27/2007, 01:48 AM

I am trying to figure out what i should do with my setup. In May i will be moving to Houston from Lubbock (8hr drive). So i will have to do a major transfer. The problem is i will be living with my folks while i look for a house to buy. Then when i find the house i will be moving again. So that is 2 moves in probably a 3 month time frame hopefully less. So what should i do?

Should i...

1) do both transfers and hope that everything can handle the stress.
2) sell everything and start from scratch

Why not at least around here now is the perfect time to buy a house. Prices are lower than they have been in years.

Not sure what exactly you have for livestock, but take it from someone who moved ONCE recently. The corals and fish will not be happy after the first move. A second could be disastrous.

Is there any way for you to just move the fish tank first? Like a couple weeks before? It would be a lot of work, but that would give a bigger lapse in time for ya...

I have been thinking about moving the tank before but even if i did that both times, it would mean transfering the livstock into a friends tank. So that would probably be a total of 4 transfers and one 8 hr drive. It might work out alright but not sure.
