Daharkazangel Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) I have got to move AGAIN, I moved to the sunny coast last year and the person who owns this house is selling! Argh!! Thats three houses in three years!! Anyway reason im winging is when I got my 6x18x18 custom built in hervey bay, the bloke that did it didnt join the glass together fully....as soon as I filled it up a little water went everywhere!! Yeah not fun :/ anyway the idiot ran out of 10mm glass so did it in 12mm glass!! Still charged the same amount as id already paid $550 for tank hood and stand combo. So everytime I move I get so angry cause my tank weighs like its made of steel...grrr. I HATE moving my four tanks!!! Rant over....anyone else have a similer story?

steve6610 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 i have 3 x 6x2x700 and they are 15mm glass, base is 20mm, and has 2 dividers in them, so i know what you mean, i guess its the down side of owning tanks and renting, when i moved from mackay to brissy i brought 1 tank with me and sold the rest, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbeer Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Put the guppys and fighter in the oscar tank, cherries in the angle tank, now only two tanks to move . The oscars and the angels will be happy:egrin:. Hope that helps, Steve p.s. if you do this you will have fat oscars and angels and none of anything else......... p.p.s I hate moving - If we move again I want my wife to find the new address, work out the moving, tell me the address by calling me at work only once all the work is done, so I know where to come home to.....

Samantha Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 We moved out with a 7x2x2, I guess you could say he came down with a severe case of MTS! We moved out of the next place with a 7x2x2, 6x2x2, 4x1.3x2.3, 3x15x18, about 10 smaller tanks, 15" cube, my hex, & an all in one, now he has more than 20 tanks, & I can't imagine moving, my foot is down & I'm staying put for as long as possible!! I hope everything works out for you mate, hopefully this will be your last move for a while!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supercobwe Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I hate moving as well, the last time I move was 6-7 years ago and back then I only have 1 tank and one fish but I did sold my only Oscar because there was no room for a tank in our rental room (not house) because we building our own home back then so only rent a room and stayed there for 9-12 months. I'm not going through the same track again let alone I have 10+ tanks now, really can't image if I need to move now. Good luck with your move hopes this would be your last for a while.
