Long term update!

Joshua Tree · 10/06/2008, 11:53 AM

Not sure if anyone remembers me or my past posts or not but I'm the person who moved from Phoenix AZ to Cleveland Ohio,(no comments please it was for family) and was looking for ways to either ship my fish or drive them across country. Well I ended up driving them the 2,100 miles across, mainly due to a LFS owner who stood me up on the day we were supposed to pack them up for shipping. I was originally going to ship them via air cargo (I work for the airlines) and pick them up the same day, well no luck. So I went to the nearest Wal-Mart and bought an Igloo Ice cube cooler and a power inverter. I ran a 50watt heater and a air pump with air stone. Stopped at the half way point which was Tulsa OK plugged them in at the hotel. Woke up pushed for the summit and made it the next day around 12am or so. Set them up in my temporary housing until we could find a home and this is the current shots of my tank. ALL of the fish and inverts made it not to mention the corals. I'm very happy I decided to make the trip instead of getting rid of it all. They are know longer in the Aqua-Pod24. They are in an old 34 gallon cube I had but I lucked out that the AQPD light is the same size. Here are some before and after shots. Sorry for the LONG post.

NOW!

THEN!
