Well, 
:, well, 
well,
well:...Had to move all the tanks out of the fish room for all the plumbing and roof work to begin at the warehouse 3 weeks early. Guess what? The Landlord hasn't even started to date.
I had 6 tanks with fish and 3 extra tanks without fish. I drained the water out of 3 tanks the night before the move. It took four days later to get the help that was supposed to move the tanks to finally be able to work. I knew I would have losses because of this. Not one fish died at this point. Should have known this was the beginning of HELL trying to get the tanks and fish moved.
Here is the shortened version. The experienced aquarium maintenance guys I used, didn't want to believe that my rainbow cichlids, Zonatus and bluegill(oddball mix) needed to be covered while sitting in the room.
I kept saying Cover the fish or stop working. They said okay and got the netting to prevent this. I walk away, come back, one F1 Rainbow that were hand collected was on the floor as well as the bluegill. The two fish died. All the buckets were finally covered. We stopped for gas and I noticed that the large trash can holding the bulk of my natives wasn't even covered.
The guys poured hand collected diamond killies and sheepshead minnows on the ground and didn't noticed until I started asking for them to be set up next an hour later.
Oh yes, let me mention that the pond liner I use inside rubbermaid stock tank. I told the guy about to fill up the stock tank that the liner has to be worked in as it filled in. Was told that the water will fill out the liner properly without adjusting.
Stopped by two days later, to check on tanks that are in my friends' garage. I saw small amount of water about 10 inch square. The pond liner had laid down in a corner.
The water filled the tank from underneath the liner and created a huge mushroom of water in the tank. Fish could only move on the sides in a 3 inch wide gap of water. Needless to say I had the guy to drain the tank and refill. Simple right???
Guy picks up mostly drained liner with fish inside and starts moving it to a trash can. I suggested that he carry it out of the garage, he said he didn't need to. As he moves the liner over the edge of the trash can, all the water and fish crash into the cement floor. I grab the closest fish and see the water heading to my friend's door leading into the house.
I tell the guy to get the fish while I sweep the water out. I believe the 10 inch Warmouth that hit the floor will die. Guy also shoots even more water on the floor filling a 55, I saw the stock tank liner was going to be an issue so I opted for the 55.
I can't tell you how many times I started to shut down all the tanks and quit last week. Since all of this has happened, I dread the move when the new space is available in a few weeks.

I hope it goes smoother when you move the rest back
