Looking for ft benning reefer to help with my pcs, bringing livestock.

gunther13mt · 05/02/2016, 02:18 PM

I love it. I'm worrying now about my tank and I'm only going on two weeks of leave outside the area and trying to find someone to help that I trust is like beating my head against a wall. Currently in Rapid City SD.

so question have any of you set up a large tank like 300DD with fish room while still active duty if so how did you handle having to PCS? I am wanting to set up a 300DD once i PCS again but i am afraid that i will have to PCS soon after it is all set up

Personally for a tank that large I wouldn't recommend it. Especially since you probably don't know or can't depend on hearsay of where your next duty station will be. It could be a days drive, but it could be cross country. You've got hours of breaking down, crating the tank, etc. I just did a six hour relocate and it was a pita. Mine was only 40 gallons, but even that was a bit stressful for them and me. Just my two cents, but no one wants to hear themselves say "what the hell was I thinking." Best to you whatever you decide. I'm in Florida between Eglin & Hurlburt.

vikinglord13 · 06/16/2016, 09:40 PM

I moved my tank CC from Pensacola, FL to La Habra, CA. I stopped twice, in Abilene, TX and Tucson, AZ, so it was a three day trip. My tank is a 29 gallon so it was easy to take down. However, I think theoretically it would be possible with that large of a tank. You'd definitely have to make sure you prep well though, and you'd want to double-check your ammonia levels. I got away with not checking mine because I transported my fish with my LR.

Though, I agree, in case you get stationed overseas or end up having to move from south Florida to Alaska, I think it would be wise to stick with smaller tanks.

Hi all, I just moved to Fort Stewart. Looking to see if anyone around here is also a reefer. I had a 75g set up in Cali (recruiting duty), but have downgraded to a 40g because that tear down was difficult.

I will be starting my cycling next week on my new tank then stock in 4-6 weeks. Hit me up if you're also in Ft. Stewart as I'd like to know what else the area has to offer as far as LFS go!

11mixedreef · 07/11/2016, 07:49 PM

Hoping this is still up and going? U.S. Marines in the Wilmington NC area 2012 to present anyone in the coastal area or towards Ft Bragg or Raleigh?

creab · 07/15/2016, 08:38 PM

I'm stationed in Goldsboro. Deployed currently

I live somewhat nearby. If all goes well, I'll be working in Oceanside soon. Depending on housing prices I might move there sometime towards the end of this year or beginning of next.

I was when you posted! I made a 2 week roadtrip with the family to see the old stomping grounds, and even drive past the Stumps on the way back.

j_mazzy · 07/27/2016, 11:12 AM

I also grew up in San Clemente California and remember dolly parton power plant pretty well.
