atxryan Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I am moving to Colorado and don't think it is realistic to move my tank.

Equipment included: Outer Orbit 2x250 metal halide with 4x54w T5's. Halides are Phoenix 14k and T5's are 3 giesman Pure atenic and 1 giesman atenic plus. HID bulbs are 5 months old and t5's installed in Oct 08 Tunze wave box with controller.

pbnj Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Sorry to see an ARC member go. Best of luck selling the entire system. If you're not able to sell it all in one shot, I'm sure people will be lining-up to buy things if you part out (me included!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mcallahan Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Here is my $.02: I've been watching tanks on various forums for over 1.5 yrs and they rarely go as full systems. You'd be better off parting it out. Yes, you'll have to deal with people coming in and out of your house and catching fish one by one, but you'll get your system sold. Not try to poo-poo things, just trying to help you get your tank sold. So if you do decide to part it out, I'd be interested in: purple plasma 2"x1" 20k locani 1.5" Garf purple bonsai- 5"x4" Cali Tort 2"x4" Dendros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 If you part i'd be interested in: duncans green manderin 3" Target manderin 3" orange starfish 4" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atxryan Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 If I am unable to sell as entire system, I will most likely sell lots of frags to consolidate my larger colonies for transport!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wippit Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I think your tank is beautiful, and I'm potentially interested in the whole setup. However, I'm new to SW (was about to start cycling my first tank, a 120 I got from Craigs list, that I could easily turn into another FW tank) and thought it might be a good thing to ping the group before making any move on this. All: Do you think this is a viable option for a newbie? I've been reading daily, studying forums, and have some background (many years ago) in exotic freshwater tanks, but I'm still a sw wanna-be. I dont want to kill anything through ignorance or (maybe even worse) good intent. That said, if we come to an arrangement how in the world do you transport something like this? I have a full size truck that carried the 120 easily, but it's the setting up and that makes me wonder. How do you get half a ton of living stuff from point A to point B safely? All feedback is welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wippit Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Also, any information on the stand? pic would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wippit Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 (Yet) another question. Sorry for the spam, but I'm posting as my tired brain suggests them. When is your move date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rgwiz11 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 @Roberts, To answer one of your questions, I think it is very viable for a "newbie" to purchase a complete system. IMO, I think you are less likely to kill something off with a mature system that has been running for a while than if you try to set something up on your own. With that said, however, I think you learn much more by doing it yourself and seeing how things progress. I'm sure you could learn the same things with an established system, just a matter of what you prefer I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atxryan Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 yes stand is included. I will try to take some pics of it when get home today. I have moved the tank two times, once when I purchased it and again in April when we moved into our current home. I simply PUMPED the water into 50g trash cans that I set in the back of my truck. as the water level drops in the tan, I removed as much rock as possible and and moved it to the cans, with the bottom of the first can covered in my Live rock, I began o place the rocks with coral colonies in the very top. Repeated until there are no more colonies or rock in the aquarium. (3 cans). then scoop the sand into a 3 or so buckets. Sand is super heave. at least 200lbs. Then loaded the tank, stand, and all equipment in a friends truck. Same steps in reverse when you get to you destination. I did not loose or break any corals. This system is very forgiving. With 7+ year old liverock, we have had no problems at all with phosphate, nitrate, or nitrites. I would expect this tank to remain hassle/worry free!! Call me if you have any questions..

Wippit Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Ah, well, I'd logged in to get your number. It's a beautiful tank and someone will enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
