Im not sure if this is the right area to post this so if not please move this mods.
I am purchasing a very large tank from a friend of a friend and its absolutly HUGE. It was custom built for him about 6 years ago and measures 125" L, 48" H, 24" W, From my calculations its about 620 Gallons.
The thing is made from 3/4" Tempered glass and a custom stand. He is selling it to me for 150 US$ as long as I come pick it up and move it. My main problems im sure are evident. How the hell do I move something this big? My second problem is even worse, its an already well established Saltwater tank with all the pumps, skimmers, Live Rock, Corals, and fish.
I know its a killer deal and I cant turn this down but does anyone have any suggestions on how to move this beast and not kill everything in it?
Im only having to move it about 30 mins from its current location to mine but im at a complete loss on how to achive all of this without harming the life in it. Im sure this thing weighs about 300 pounds in glass alone. That in itself will be a project.
Got a few tree trunks(Oddly large friends)to help me move it but now my main problem is whats inside. Im scared of losing the fish and other things that are alive in there.
Here is the list that the guy gave me that it is stocked with...
4 Hard Tube Coco Worms
2 Lavendar Mushroom Corals
1 Lime Zoos
1 Super Green Zoos
1 Rose Bubble Tip Anemone
1 Green Carpet Anemone
2 Orange Derasa Clams
1 Teddy Bear Crab
3 Sea Apples
12 Feather Dusters
1 Orange Frilly Sponge
1 Orange Serpent Starfish
2 Blue Urchin
75 Pounds Fijii Live Rock
2 Purple Queen Anthias
2 Blackcap Basslet
1 Midas Blenny
1 Blue Stripe Clownfish
2 Jewel Damsel
1 Chameleon Tilefish
1 Spike Fin Goby
1 Foxface
1 Black Tang
1 Mystery Wrasse
From what he has told me several of these species are very rare and really expensive and some(Think he said the foxface) are dangerous cause of poison.
I would really hate to lose any of them cause he has spent well over 5,000 in just the fish and stuff alone.
Sometimes divorces are benificial lol.
