I'm also planning on moving my porcupine to his new tank. Did you have any issues with yours puffing up when you tried to move him? When I moved mine 3 years ago he was fine. I'm a big concerned this time because he is much bigger now.

Coming along. Mudding and taping oh joy. Must be exciting to have the wallboard up to were one can see the progress.
That what I do for all the fish. Never a net. I use a Tupperware container so they aren't exposed to the air. If he puffs up he may not fit through the opening at the top of the tank, lolI haven't moved this one yet. He is still in the U.K. But I have moved normal porcupines before with no problem. I use a large container or my hands not a net.
I had one porcupine come in one time that had trapped air that I had to massage out but it worked out ok.

He's moving about 8 feet, lol. From a 150 to a 225 gallon.
Not yet. Still finalizing the deal with a guy. He has a used glass 250 w/ stand. It's not so much a build as it is a transfer. I'll have to start a thread when I get to it.Ah dude if he's in a big enough tub you'll be fine! Have you got a build thread?
Yeah not the most enjoyable work. Although I bought a large sander which has taken the edge out of it.

This talk reminds me of a porcupine someone gave to me to put into the aquarium at Key West. Temperature acclimated the fellow in a 5 gallon bucket, and gently emptied the bucket into the tank. (Open system, natural seawater ... and the fish was caught on the pier behind the aquarium. Total journey from ocean to tank - about 50 yards.) The _water_ came out of the bucket . . . . but not the fish.
He'd puffed 'til he stuck.
Sunk the bucket and waited for him to come out on his own.
