Well,
I thought I did everything right. Just moved into a new house and had to
take my tank down and move it. I was very careful and very thorough but
still had one loss. Out of: 2 O. Clowns, Rose Anemone, TG Open Brain,
Lawnmower Blenny, Red Headed Goby, Tuxedo Urchin, Orange Lankia Star,
Scarlet Skunk Shrimp, Peppermint Shrimp, 2 Serpent Stars, about 20 Hermits
and 20 Snails, I lost the Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp. Thing that blows my
mind is that I drip acclimated it back to tank temp with the Lankia which I
would have thought would be much more delicate.
All others made the trip fine. Even after sitting in aerated buckets for
days while I setup the tank and acclimated everyone back into the system.
The Skunk and Lankia even traveled in the same bucket. I suppose I should
feel lucky after some of the horror stories I have heard, but I really
thought I would make this move with zero losses.!
