@@QueenofReef I have started researching about reef tanks over the last 3 months and want to start 1 myself. I follow all your videos and would love to emulate your success someday.
That’s soo cool you have an LFS like that near you thats willing to help like that, all I have is a Petco forcing me to purchase most equipment & sea critters online, so I don’t know if they would/could do something like this. Luckily with living in an apartment at the moment while going to college, the 20 gallon reef tank I’m running shouldn’t be too much of an issue when its time to move! Really an eye opener type of video as one day, I’d love to move up to a tank that size but its easy to forget the amount of work that can sometimes go into it. Thank you for showing us the good with the bad; very authentic videos. Keep them coming!
I buy everything online so don't let that stop you!! I actually started with a 29g in undergrad at my apt too, so you'll get here sooner than you think 🤣 Tons of tank sizes in between 20g and 220g as well - honestly wish I went smaller like a 75g because this tank is so much to handle and it's quite exhausting to do maintenance.
it was very hard to record the move and not get in the way so I wasn't able to show the "up close" of everything and I was concerned about that, so glad to hear this!
I wouldnt call that bad luck it breaking. Even though you liked it, just means you can create something new and exciting. It's like getting an actual new tank..... almost.
@@QueenofReef I honestly like using flat long rocks and using big rocks and creating a simple aquascape like that. I also see slopes when I scuba dive going downward so I try and mimic what I see in the wild with rocks.:) Like an arch way or bridges but angled with uneven rocks look super natural.
I have the same tank but the peninsula 7225. Awesome tanks. Was bad enough moving the tank with out if full to start. Brought it second hand. Dragged it through my house on end on a duvet. 😂. Shame about the scape. Maybe drill and acrylic rod it together.
I dunno why I've never thought of it but those coolers are a great idea for transporting coral/rocks. I'll be remembering that when I have to move my tank!
What an amazing resource in that LFS! Congratulations on the move. Sorry for the scape because you were so happy with it. I hope it turns into an opportunity for something even more amazing.
Im so sorry to hear ur aquascape broke. A little advise, do a series of water changes every 2-3 days. Moving tanks may release built up detritus and pockets of gas from the sand. Just a small safety precaution that will help ur move be more successful. As for the scape, i am sure will come up with something great
I know the guys from Aqua Studios, and they are fantastic! I'm now in Houston, but I missed those guys from the store. Moving a tank can be overwhelming. I moved mine by myself from Dallas to Houston, and all my livestock survived, including corals; it very stressful, but grateful because they are my pets. Great job, Aqua Studios!
It sucks that your aquascape didn't make it but I see it as a good thing. If the scape didn't survive a move like that, I can't imagine it surviving an earthquake or the added weight of your corals once they had grown out. Better this than it breaking in the tank sometime down the line.
Luckily we don't have earthquakes, but I get what you're saying. It was the kind of scape that just has to sit there and be left alone 😂 I'm not surprised it broke, but fresh start now to make it better
I was so nervous watching this! You must have been a wreck. I would have been. It’s over now though! The fish are swimming and the corals are safely in the 220. They will be stressed for a while. Stay patient. Sorry to hear about the scape, but hey you get to use your creative skills again.
It was really nerve wracking! Went by so quickly though, they worked super fast. Looking forward to aquascaping again though (hopefullyI still got it!!)
I have a crazier journey although similar ahead of me. I have a 220 and am moving from NY to Florida... I have a house to leave and a house to yet purchase and somehow my animals will make the transition... HELP!!!!!
@@QueenofReef ahh not bad i suppose. Was just curious what other places around the US cost. Of course in Texas, at least where you seem to live. Costs are higher than where I am located. I had my tank moved for 500, but just the tank and stand. For everything moved I believed they told me 1000. If I almost move again, I just wana sell my tank and buy a new one when moved in lol.
@@andrewlehr2 That's a really good price - how many gallons? I think that's the best way to do it honestly! I just started this tank ~1.5 years ago so I wasn't ready to let go anytime soon lol
@@QueenofReef mine is only a 120, and about 45 to 50 minute drive from the store i went to. It just tenses my body when it gets moved cause I know if it breaks. Ill never have a nice tank like that again cause prices keep creeping. But all in all, glad it went smooth and all survived..RIP aquascape
I’m really sad for you, I know you, I know you loved your scape, but be possitive you did it before you will do it again, the fish and corals are good so that must make you slightly happy, I will all be good again just see, but I really know how you feel now, but when you get it all done it will be amazing again, bye for now Colin🏴
U is best queef! That queen reef in one words! I pretty smart, and it sound like a good names! 🥰🐶❤️
❤️
Look great you did a good job
I barely lifted a finger! 😂 But my LFS were awesome
Love your set-up
you should check out cornerstone reef rock. they're located in texas, and their branch rock is awesome.
Ooou wouldn't mind taking a visit!
Nice
🙂
Good job 👍👍👍
Congrats on this successful move. Its much harder than it seems like.

This is content gold for so many people that need to move a tank. There are not too many of these videos out for people that need it. Thanks.

Yes!!! I'm excited
Can't wait to c tha new scape. Sorry for that 1 very cool
it will be fun to aquascape again honestly!
new house for you.. new scape for the tank! everyone gets something fresh in this start of a new chapter!
Right?! That's what's keeping me positive haha
I'm sure you will come up with something equally as cool in your 'scape rebuild. You have a a great eye and ability to make another awesome design
Aw shucks 😬 I'm excited!

Aqua Studios is my local LFS too! I'v probably seen you in there and didn't even know it haha.
no way! that's awesome, hopefully i'll catch ya when i'm there

Omg on a duvet?? 😂 That's hilarious

The best way! Keeps the temperature and big enough to store everything 😬

Have fun I know how you feel
Glad it's over haha!

Yes have been - solid advice! The sand was so nasty when we moved so I can only imagine 🤢
All went fairly smoothly 👍
I'd say so!
Looks so awesome and I am sorry about the aqua scape but new house new scape ❤️
That's what i'm saying to make myself feel better 😂 It will be fun!
New house, new aquascape..... Change is good once in a while.
I agree! I think it's very fitting haha

Oh no way that's awesome! They really did a phenomenal job and worked super quickly. I recommend them to anyone.
Thats a beautiful tank, good luck.
Thank you 🙏

wait watch for ich its coming and ... and a bacteria boom cycle 😂
NO no don't jinx me 😂😂
That's awesome your LFS can help move your tank, so much less stress!
Shame about the scape though 😢 good luck with the new scape!
I could NOT have done it without them! Worth it 1000%
Bummer about the scape! Could've been worse!
Very true! Not the worst thing to happen
Glad it overall went well! I almost like the super minimalist look more than your old scape. A chance to make an even better one!
Definitely going for the same style with the new scape - love it so much
Thx QOR , ready now to move my 75g across the same room , lol.
Omg really? 😂
Also with an ich free blue tang . Some say every tank has ich. I don’t this tank ever had it .
@@revo1336 Same boat as me!
Good content!
The move made me so anxious! I hope your new aquascape is to your liking, can't wait to see how it turns out :D
haha it made me nervous too! Will be posting videos on the progress/building :)
Sucks about the aqua scape, but hey new aqua scape building is fun and new video set for the channel
Very true!! Get ready to get sick of scaping vids 😂
I was so nervous watching this! You must have been a wreck. I would have been. It’s over now though! The fish are swimming and the corals are safely in the 220. They will be stressed for a while. Stay patient. Sorry to hear about the scape, but hey you get to use your creative skills again.

Who do u suggest moving large aquarium from garage to inside?
It depends how large ! Will need at least 4 people to move the tank with suction cups if it's large like mine
Sounds like fun 🤣
Yes it was a hoot 🤪
I'm a little confused on the packing for the aquascape. You throw that scape on 4-5 towels or a large blanket and there's no way it breaks.
When one door is closed many more is open, the new scape will be better 👀👍🏽✌🏽
I have a crazier journey although similar ahead of me. I have a 220 and am moving from NY to Florida... I have a house to leave and a house to yet purchase and somehow my animals will make the transition... HELP!!!!!
Holy heck! That's going to be quite a mission
How much they charge ya to move the tank and all?
$300/hour, took about 6 hours. Worth EVERY penny!!
@@QueenofReef ahh not bad i suppose. Was just curious what other places around the US cost. Of course in Texas, at least where you seem to live. Costs are higher than where I am located.

Tearing down part isn't as bad as putting back together
I thought tear down was a lot worse actually! Then again, my LFS handled pretty much everything 😂
@@QueenofReef I tore them down and put it back together myself lol
If that’s the worse thing that happened than that’s a successful move👍
That's what i'm thinking!

Hopefully it turns out as nice!! A bit nervous
Watch BRStv videos on HNSA or creating a habitat scape. Great vids with tons of tips and tricks!!
Will check out!!
Sucks about the aqua scape. But happy the rest is good.
Will be a fresh start!
Lmaooooo the janky titanic music gets me every time I hear it
Who is girl on clickbait? Eye color, hair color, face different 🤭🤥🤪
I'm glad that everything went very well for you. One question, did you use the same sand?
Yes I did!
Your aquascape RIP recorder music @7:02 🤧😥😢😭😭😭
