Hello! Just moved from Toronto to SF

[MyFirstCar]

Hi all! I recently moved from Canada to the Bay Area and I've slowly been getting my tank setup back up and running. My neighbour is tank-sitting for me in Canada, but its been at least 6 months so its time to start moving everything over. I'll probably be posting many questions and getting to know the reefing community around here over the next couple months

Welcome! How did you find out about BAR? I’m in Pleasant Hill - East Bay. Members here are spread all over the Bay Area and beyond. So you have a setup in progress here, as well as one in Canada?

Here's the reef so far! I got a good deal on a very well maintained Reefer 200XL, so I've decided to upgrade from my old max nano into this for more space. I've also always wanted to do an NSA style aquascape, so I tried that too. Took me like a month to get it done (lots of re-doing, and I ended up breaking and rebuilding the entire thing at the end as I got much better at gluing strong joints). Just waiting on an RODI filter, then we'll start filling it!

Yeah, thats right. Learned about BAR through the reef2reef forums. I'm setting up a new tank here, then I'm going to ship the livestock from Canada, and then sell that tank.

Welcome - I wonder how easy that is going to be.

I don’t know if you can shop livestock easy from another country. Might not be worth the effort. If I remember correctly

Anyways. Welcome.

Not easy, it will take about 6 weeks for the permits. Luckily San Francisco is a Fish an Wildlife receiving port, which makes thing easier on this side.

Yeah, but I've had that tank for 4 years, so they're my livestock now if you know what I mean.
