How do you like the spread and par of the ap9x? Heard many good reviews!

 

[FullerReef]

Seems fine, I got it used from the person I got the tank from. No complaints so far. Here we're my par readings running at 20%

Just picked up a used tank like this. How's the tank looking lately? I really like your rock layout. Giving me ideas.

Things have been coasting a long for a while with the tank, but I'm getting ready to move it in the next week or so for the first time since it's been established. I'll have a bunch of salt made, break things down as much as I can and hopefully have the suction cups from the club (thanks). I'm nervous, but the move is not far, about 20 minutes. Any advice is welcome!

I'm going to be in the same shoes too. @H2OPlayar did the longest successful move here lately, what would be your 5 top tips?

Remember saltwater and rock and ... is very heavy. If you wouldn't put hundreds of pounds of other stuff in your vehicle, don't put that much water and such in.

Be prepared for everything going wrong. Car breakdown, traffic, needing to leave things in the vehicle for awhile, ... Have more freshwater and more saltwater ready then you think you need, and have it at the new place. Make sure to test whatever outlets and what not you're using before counting on them all working.

The reason I got out of the hobby 15 years ago was I lost everything in a move that should've been 50 minutes, but my car broke down and I didn't have any backup. So be careful

See if where it’s going is level (enough fir your liking anyway)

Edit: Saw this is a 20 minute move. Totally different from what I did, way easier. One bubbler for a big container to hold stuff on each end and send it.

Wow this sounds like a nightmare scenario! I can see why you would be done after that.

That's the plan, fish in one bucket, rocks in another, Togo containers for any coral that are lose and will fit.
