Hello Everyone,
Please keep your fingers crossed for us. My husband and I are buying/picking up an established aquarium tomorrow. I think we are getting an awesome deal:
Tank has cycled. the tank has been set up for 2 years, ready to go. NOTHING needed to buy. Tank has stand and hood, saphire aquatics skimmer, power head, sump and filtering inside the back of tank, 40g acrylic tank; 36" CORALIFE (4) lights with builtin fan, built in filters, live sand, live rock, 1 maroon clown, 2 large anemonies, blue fish, live plants, LOTS of activity growing on live rock (20 lbs live rock), moonlights strip; extra pumps, extra Eheim filter. The tank is acylic and it has scratches but not real obvious. Still looks beautiful when clean.
Anyway, I'm very nervous about transporting everything and keeping it all alive once we get home. I've gotten alot of info from reading posts on the site and believe we are ready to make the trip. I have new sand I will be using (26lbs live and 20 lbs "dead"). Hopefully this will keep the tank from cycling again. I'll keep ya'll posted on how it goes and I'm sure I will have questions along the way. If anyone has new suggestions on transport it would be greatly appreciated.
