All gone

We are moving to an island, so I can see fish in their wild habitat whenever I want. 90 gallon corner drilled display tank all plumbing I may, or may not, have a 20 gallon tank for the return pump & skimmer & reactors ... I am too lazy to go look. Protein skimmer some other reactor thing... I can't remember what it is. professionally built by a forum member bunch o powerhead pumps main return pump 300g metal heater 12 g nano tank with stand enough southdown sand (undead - it's been in storage) to add a 3-4" layer in the 90 & 2-3" in the nano maybe a chunk of dead rock homemade calcium reactor (built by a member of this forum) couple of small pumps used for drips top off bucket & pump w/ sensor 10 g quarantine tank a reefkeeper and another controller w/ temp and ph monitors. nets, food, testing kits, refractometer, magnetic tank cleaners lots of other stuff. No stand for main tank, no lights. Cash and carry all or nothing. text or call eight 0 four four five three eight eight five five I will post to craigslist tomorrow, but wanted the WAMAS community first shot. You were all really helpful when I was into the tank.

The manual says it's an ES CS skimmer, but I know that isn't helpful. I've been trying to dig up some details, but not having any luck. It's at least 5 years old, but I purchased a new pump for it right before I tore everything down. It worked excellent on my full reef system (90 gallon display, 110 gallon total water in the system). I will try and get a pic up.

I cleaned out my inbox and sending PMs now.

No. Just the tank.

I think it's a custom built one from someone on the boards here... I can't remember honestly. No Co2. The regulator is the JBJ one listed separately.

Well, it's been 3 years since I broke my tank down when I moved, and I haven't set anything back up, and now I'm moving again to Abu Dhabi, so everything must go! This is all equipment that was supporting my 90 gallon display tank. I got rid of some stuff when I moved, and here is what is left. Location is Leesburg, VA.

We are moving on the 13th to a very nice single family house. In the new place I have all kinds of space to do anything I want... but it will take me a bit of time to get there. I'm not going to be re-setting up my current system (90 gallon), but would like to keep a few fish and corals alive in a 12 gallon aquapod that I just set up in my office. As soon as I figure out what will work there, I'll be selling the rest of the livestock and possibly some equipment. I'd like to "store" the live rock and sand - and am thinking that a brute trashcan or rubbermaid tubs with a pump, heater and airstone would be the right equipment. But, I also want to make it 'transportable' on the day of the move (by movers, not me!). I probably have 90-100lbs of live rock and a sand bed about 5" deep. Any advice on size, number and type of tubs/cans to use? Any other suggestions? should I keep some of my water for storage, or just mix up new?

I only wear gloves when working in my tank now. I have been stung by bristleworms (and corals as well) and for me it's not like getting fiberglass stuck in your fingers, but more like being burned. I think my reaction has been worse each time as well. I got a 100 pack of powder free latex gloves from Giant for like $3.... definitely worth it. Last time I was stung I got blood blisters and it took 2 weeks for my finger to get back to normal.

Regarding pH being the same... I actually thought one of the main points on a dip was that parasites suffered from pH shock rapidly due to their small size when you did a freshwater dip and they fell off or died as a result...

Agree. Surprised your tangs are not all over it (mine do). Maybe try shredding a bit and putting it in with whatever else you feed them. They may not realize its edible... I used to clip my seaweed but don't even bother anymore. It floats around, they eat it.

I have been considering the same thing and might be interested in a "co-op" purchase, but not sure how details would work (what if they die in my tank before they can get to you, etc...)

How big were the snails & crabs? pencil eraser, dime, nickel, quarter... ? I've also seen the ads on craigslist.

Just wanted to publically thank Luceneck for the door-to-door delivery service of a replacement part for my broken return pump last night. He graciously took time drop off the part to me late last night as I was unable to get out of the house (I was on baby duty). Also thanks to Emissary for his offer of a spare part as well. This is the kind of thing that makes membership to this club so worth it! Thanks again!
