Moving = Death

by Deltasigpony3648

so i moved my tank on tuesday and everything went well took most of the water with me did a nice big water change like 40% and waited 2 days and checked my lvls again

0-5 ppm Nitrate
0 ppm Nitrite
0 ppm Ammonia
0 ppm Phosphate
8.0 p.H.
9 (161.1 ppm) Kh
21 ( 420 ppm ) Calcium

the calcium is low i know that but what killed my yellow tang who was perfectly healthy before the move and what killed my pulsing xiania

could just be stress........also....your levels may have been fine ..but during the actual move you may have stired some crap up and sent a "spike" into the tank for an hour or so.........doesn't take much............sorry for your lose .............Snowboss

all 3 of my clowns came from online....very good expierience from Liveaquaria.com , as a matter of fact i lost a blennie and a clown on the original order from them because the shipping company left the box out on the porch in january after losing the package for an extra day in shipping......i called them and with in the next 36 hrs i had 2 new clowns in the at no charge at all

........i ordered my liverock from petsolutions and they were great too

...........good luck

moving a freshwater tank is hard enough i couldn't imagine having to do it with a marine setup
