Move and upgrade same time?

[Twostepper4041]

Assuming I can pull off the impossible of buying a larger tank and setting it up while moving from my condo across town.... Dare I even attempt it? I have a 65 display right now, and I see a opertunity to get a larger tank. The smart person in me tells me to sell off my boat load of corals, and start fresh

I'm not super attached to my fish... But I do have some nice coral that I would hate to sell....

Ahhhh.... What to do

I'm not looking forward to moving the tank anyways

However part of me tells me just to move it and keep enjoying it.... Damn it!

If it was me (but I am addicted) I would do the upgrade now and keep all your fish and corals. Once you move the old tank in its new place you may kick yourself in the butt for not upgrading. Many have done this in the past just allot your self a day to move everything.

Problem is right now I can't upgrade the tank.... My condo is on the second floor, and I fear I've already maxed weight limit out... Plus I don't have enough room.... So I think I'll be forced to just move my 65 to the new place, then start a build thread

Prepare the new tank now, get everything figured out and done with the exception of rock/sand and water. Stand, sump, plumping, get it all ready to set up, just don't set it up yet. Live rock will survive in a brute can with water, heat and something to move the water around (airstone, power head, etc).

Then on day one of the move, move the new tank in first, set it up and start the water making. Move the rest of your stuff over to the new home, then drain the old tank and move stock over to the new tank. Plan it out to have plenty of time to do the transfer between old tank to new tank incase of an emergency popping up. Then just drain the old tank and move it or sell it.
