Re: If you buy a tank from someone, how do you get it home?
I'm right there with ya on the coral only tank Rc.Fish are WAY over rated.
The tang,damsels,and hawkfish,would go.Maybe keep the goby.

Re: If you buy a tank from someone, how do you get it home?
Id go with this instead.
Cheaper and from what others have said the individual reflectors make it better. Current Aquarium(s) Description: 150g, 24g,8g Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: About 1 Year Other Intrests: Computers, Robotics

Choice of lights would be T-5's. As for fish I would keep the goby. Do you know how long they had the fish? Also I would build a sump.

Re: If you buy a tank from someone, how do you get it home?
Yes,tangs are reef safe.
A good T5-HO fixture with individual reflectors will allow you to be unlimited when it comes to coral and clam choices.Look for at least six rolls of T5 w/ IR like the Nova Pro's. Sunlight Supply Tek,Aquactinics and ATI also make T5 fixtures but they generally cost more.

Re: If you buy a tank from someone, how do you get it home?
you can keep the yellow tang but if you want to keep a tang longer I would get rid of it and get a Kole tang because they are the one's that grow slow of all the tangs. I would also suggest bringing one or two more friends with you if you decide to leave the sand in the tank. trust me it is going to be very heavy. it is going to weigh more than 500 lbs (have you tried picking up a handfull of wet sand in the beach and then picked up a dry one?) imagine that a hundred more weight.

Oh and one thing to definitely not forget it bring some towels!!!!!! Or a crappy comforter to lay the tank on. May seem like common sense, but I forgot it.
