Moving and storing of stocked tank

[BryanF]

We suffered a house fire last week and unfortunately will be out of the home for several months during construction. Thankfully everyone is safe and travelers insurance has been top notch so far!

The fire restoration company would like to see my 72 gallon mixed reef moved out, stored offsite, and then moved back in after construction is complete. Travelers is willing to pay this expense however the insurance adjuster has never had to do such a thing so doesn't know of a company to use. I'm really hoping to avoid selling the livestock!

Tank is a 72 bow, been established for approximately 6 months with softies, lps, and a few pieces of sps.

Payment will come directly from travelers insurance who has bared no expense thus far. Please let me know if your willing and able for such a job.

Thanks for the good wishes everyone. Burnt stuff can always be replaced, really puts things in perspective. I'll call Chris tomorrow and see what he can do.

The smoke damage is what really gets you! This small area is going to be well over $100k in damage.

Sorry to hear about the fire, what happened? Glad everyone safe though. I was also going to recommend AA so +1 to that

I vote AA as well and glad everyone is okay as well and speaking from experience life's little mishaps really do put things into perspective

Hey Bryan sorry to hear about the fire but glad to hear everyone is ok and the damage didnt result in a total loss. If AA (whom I also recommend) cant store and hold your livestock the other person I might try is Ki over at Keys Island another sponsor of ours.

Two day old ashes from the fireplace. I've learned to always pour water over them regardless of how certain you are they are out.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who recommended Chris at aquatic art. He picked up my tanks today and was great to work with! I know the tanks are in good hands.

That's awesome news. One less thing to worry about. Knowing Cris, your corals will have doubled in size by the time you get the tank back.
